Abstract excerpt
Pseudovitamin D-deficiency rickets (PDDR) is an autosomal recessive disorder resulting from a defect in renal 25-hydroxyvitamin D 1α-hydroxylase, the key enzyme in the pathway of vitamin D metabolism. We identified ten different mutations in the 1α-hydroxylase gene (CYP27B1) in eight Chinese families with PDDR by DNA-sequence analysis. Six of them are novel missense mutations: G57V, G73W, L333F, R432C, R459C, and...
