Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Activating mutations in the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) gene cause autosomal dominant hypocalcemia (ADH). The aims of the present study were the functional characterization of novel mutations of the CaSR found in patients, the comparison of in vitro receptor function with clinical parameters, and the effect of the allosteric calcilytic NPS-2143 on the signaling of mutant receptors as a...
