Abstract excerpt
A loss of calcium-sensing receptor (CASR) function due to inactivating mutations can cause familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) or neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism (NSHPT). NSHPT represents the most severe expression of FHH and courses as a life-threatening condition. The aim of this study was to identify and characterize a CASR mutation in a female infant brought to the health service due to...
