OBJECTIVE: Pancreatitis is an unusual complication of the benign disorder familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia (FHH) such that it could represent a distinct subgroup of FHH. In order to study this, we investigated three FHH kindreds with recurrent pancreatitis for mutations of the extracellular calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) to identify a possible common genetic aetiology for typical FHH and that associated with...
