Abstract excerpt
Hereditary 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-resistant rickets (HVDRR) is a genetic disease that results from mutations in the gene encoding the vitamin D receptor (VDR). In this study of two siblings showing classical features of HVDRR, cultured dermal fibroblasts were used to characterize their VDR and assess responsiveness to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 treatment. The VDR displayed normal affinity and binding...
