Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Regulation of calcium is mediated by parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 1.25-dihydroxyvitamine D3. The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) regulates PTH release by a negative feedback system. Gain-of-function mutations in the CaSR gene reset the calcium-PTH axis, leading to hypocalcaemia. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We analysed a family with hypocalcaemia. The proband was a 47-year-old man (index, patient I1), who...
