Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Activating mutation of the calcium-sensing receptor gene (CASR) reduces parathyroid hormone secretion and renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, defined as autosomal dominant hypocalcemia type 1 (ADH1). Patients with ADH1 may present with hypocalcemia-induced seizures. Calcitriol and calcium supplementation in symptomatic patients may exacerbate hypercalciuria, leading to nephrocalcinosis,...
