Abstract excerpt
Vitamin D-dependent rickets type 1A (VDDR1A) is a rare condition caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in CYP27B1, which encodes 25-hydroxyvitamin D3-1-α-hydroxylase. Inadequate activity of this enzyme results in deficient 1α-hydroxylation of inactive 25-hydroxyvitamin D to biologically active 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, with consequent adverse effects on calcium and phosphate metabolism. A female child was...
