Abstract excerpt
A neonate affected by a novel inactivating mutation in the calcium-sensing receptor (CASR) gene is presented. This mutation is homozygously inherited and has not been previously described. A deletion in exon 5 (c.1392_1404del13) of the gene causes a loss of function of the receptor, which results in neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism and an ensuing extreme hypercalcemia. In a case of homozygosis of the CASR...
