Abstract excerpt
The cloning of the extracellular calcium-sensing receptor(CaSR) has helped to define a key component in the control of the calcium homeostasis. Gain-of-function mutations in the CaSR gene were identified as the cause of autosomal dominant hypocalcemia (ADH). This clinical condition is compatible with hypoparathyroidism because of low PTH levels compared with serum calcium levels. Until now, 21 missense mutations...
