Abstract excerpt
Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH), neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism (NSHPT), and autosomal dominant hypocalcemia (ADH), in which calcium homeostasis is disordered, are associated with mutations in the calcium-sensing receptor (CASR). Six unrelated kindreds with FHH and/or NSHPT and two unrelated kindreds with ADH were studied. Direct sequence analysis of the exons of the CASR gene identified...
