Cinacalcet therapy in a child with novel homozygous CASR p.Glu353Lys mutation causing familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia type 1: case report and review of the literature.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) is one of the conditions that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of hypercalcemia and normo-hypophosphatemia in childhood. Heterozygous Calcium-sensing receptor (CASR) gene mutations cause FHH, and homozygous CASR gene mutations cause neonatal severe primary hyperparathyroidism (NSHPT). Cinacalcet is an allosteric modulator of Calciumsensing...
