Abstract excerpt
Serum level of parathyroid hormone (PTH) is strictly regulated by serum calcium concentration, which is sensed by the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) , a member of G-protein-coupled-receptor superfamily. Activating CaSR mutations result in the impaired PTH secretion and hypocalcemia, and the increased sensitivity of the receptor in kidney leads to relative hypercalciuria despite hypocalcemia. Recognizing the...
