Abstract excerpt
Hypoparathyroidism, either of acquired or inherited origin, is a heterogenous group of human disorders caused by a defective calcium homeostasis clinically known as hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia. Two mutations (R47L, G63S) in the DNA binding domain of the parathyroid-specific transcription factor GCMB have been reported to be linked to hypoparathyroidism. Both mutations cause a loss of transactivation either...
