In this study, we report an 84-year-old female proband in a Japanese family with familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) caused by an R648stop mutation in the extracellular calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) gene. At the age of 71 years, she presented with hypercalcemia (11.4 mg/dl), hypocalciuria (Cca/Ccr = 0.003), hypermagnesemia (2.9 mg/dl), and a high-serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) level (midregion PTH, 3225...
