Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Inactivating mutations of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), of the G-protein subunit α11 (GNA11) and of the adaptor-related protein complex 2, sigma 1 subunit (AP2S1) genes are responsible for familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia (FHH). The aim of this study was to analyse prevalence and pathogenicity of CaSR, GNA11 and AP2S1 mutations in patients with an FHH phenotype and to compare them with a...
