Abstract excerpt
Mutations in vitamin D receptor (VDR) cause hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets (HVDRR). We reported a Thai girl with HVDRR, presenting with an early onset of rickets and partial alopecia. She was a product of a consanguineous couple. Mutation analysis showed that she was homozygous for a novel splice site mutation of the VDR gene, 462 + 1 G --> C, resulting in incorporation of the whole 254 bp of the intron 4...
