Impaired growth and intracranial calcifications in autosomal dominant hypocalcemia caused by a GNA11 mutation
23 Jun 2016
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Autosomal dominant hypocalcemia (ADH) is characterized by hypocalcemia and inappropriately low PTH concentrations. ADH type 1 is caused by activating mutations in the calcium-sensing receptor (CASR), a G-protein-coupled receptor signaling through α11 (Gα11) and αq (Gαq) subunits. Heterozygous activating mutations in GNA11, the gene encoding Gα11, underlie ADH type 2. This study describes disease...
