Abstract excerpt
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 6 (TRPV6) functions in tetramer form for calcium transport. Until now, TRPV6 has not been linked with skeletal development disorders. An infant with antenatal onset thoracic insufficiency required significant ventilatory support. Skeletal survey showed generalized marked undermineralization, hypoplastic fractured ribs, metaphyseal fractures, and extensive periosteal reaction...
