[Bone disease with vitamin D receptor abnormality].

Abstract excerpt

In humans, the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene has been localized to the chromosomal locus 12q13-14. The gene is composed of a minimum of nine exons. Hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D resistant rickets (HVDRR) known as vitamin D dependent rickets type II is a rare autosomal recessive disease that arises as a result of mutations in the gene encoding the VDR.
