Identification of a Novel Homozygous Missense Mutation in the CLDN16 Gene to Decipher the Ambiguous Clinical Presentation Associated with Autosomal Dominant Hypocalcaemia and Familial Hypomagnesemia with Hypercalciuria and Nephrocalcinosis in an Indian Family.

Abstract excerpt

Familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis (FHNNC) is a rare autosomal recessive renal tubulopathy disorder characterized by excessive urinary loss of calcium and magnesium, polyuria, polydipsia, bilateral nephrocalcinosis, progressive chronic kidney disease, and renal failure. Also, sometimes amelogenesis imperfecta and severe ocular abnormalities are involved. The CLDN-16 and CLDN-19 genes...
