A Unique Point Mutation in the Human Vitamin D Receptor Chromosomal Gene Confers Hereditary Resistance to 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3
1 Apr 1990
Abstract excerpt
The syndrome of hereditary resistance to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 is due to defective function of the vitamin D receptor (VDR). The recent cloning and nucleotide sequence determination of the human VDR chromosomal gene have enabled a direct evaluation of the genetic basis for this disease in affected patients. In this report we employed polymerase chain reaction techniques to amplify the gene exons that encode...
