Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets (HVDRR) has been shown to be due to mutations in the gene encoding the vitamin D receptor (VDR). In two patients with the characteristic phenotype we have investigated the functional defect and sequenced the VDR cDNA. We report two new mutations in the DNA binding domain of the VDR gene and we have used the crystallographic structure of the glucocorticoid and...
