Abstract excerpt
In this study, we describe a 52-year-old woman, who was diagnosed with familial benign hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FBHH), a condition characterized by hypercalcemia, low urinary calcium excretion, and normal parathyroid hormone PTH levels, resulting from inactivating mutations of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR). In order to identify and characterize the underlying mutation in the CASR gene, direct sequence...
