Constitutively Activated Receptors for Parathyroid Hormone and Parathyroid Hormone–Related Peptide in Jansen's Metaphyseal Chondrodysplasia
5 Sept 1996
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: An activating mutation of the receptor for parathyroid hormone (PTH) and parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) was recently found in a patient with Jansens's metaphyseal chondrodysplasia, a rare form of short-limbed dwarfism associated with hypercalcemia and normal or low serum concentrations of the two hormones.
