Abstract excerpt
Calcium is a major ion in human metabolism and its level is highly controlled. This regulation is performed via the Calcium Sensing Receptor, a discovery which ten years ago led to the explanation of a number of clinical disorders. The syndromes caused by CaSR abnormalities are characterized by hypercalcemia or hypocalcemia, associated with inappropriate calciuria. An underlying genetic or auto-immune cause may...
