Abstract excerpt
Calcium-sensing receptor polymorphism rs1042636 (Arg990Gly) affects the response to the calcimimetic cinacalcet, used to treat hypercalcemia in secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) or parathyroid carcinoma. Carriers of the Arg allelle, show less parathyroid hormone secretion suppression in response to the drug. This effect was reproducible in transfected cultured human embryonic kidney cells, supporting a causal...
