Heterozygous inactivating mutations of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) cause familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, whereas homozygous or compound heterozygous inactivating mutations normally cause neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism. In a case of neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism characterized by moderately severe hypercalcemia and very high PTH levels, coupled with evidence of hyperparathyroidism and...
