Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Calcium metabolic disorders like familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) and autosomal dominant familial isolated hypoparathyroidism (FIH) can be caused by rare variants of the calcium sensing receptor gene (CASR). Molecular genetic screening of the CASR is often based on DNA sequencing. METHODS: We sought to develop a pre-screening method in the diagnostic procedure and pursued variant scanning by...
