Two hereditary defects related to vitamin D metabolism map to the same region of human chromosome 12q13–14
1 Dec 1992
Abstract excerpt
We have localized the locus for the vitamin D receptor (VDR) responsible for hypocalcemic vitamin D-resistant rickets (HVDRR), close to the pseudovitamin D-deficient rickets (PDDR) locus, another disorder related to impaired vitamin D metabolism. PDDR (formerly vitamin D dependency type I, VDD1) was recently mapped to human chromosome 12q14 by linkage analysis. Here we report on the assignment of VDR to 12q13-14...
