Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The calcium-sensing receptor (CASR) is critical for maintenance of blood calcium in a narrow physiologic range. Naturally occurring mutations in the calcium-sensing receptor gene (CASR) cause hypocalcaemia or hypercalcaemia, and molecular diagnosis of these mutations is clinically important. Knowledge of SNP frequency and haplotype structure is essential in understanding molecular test results. DESIGN...
