Abstract excerpt
Hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets has been associated with a number of mutations within the DNA and ligand binding domains of vitamin D receptors (VDR). The aim of our study was to identify and characterize the causative mutations in three kindreds with this condition. Resistance of 1,25(OH)2D3 was confirmed in cultured skin fibroblasts in which there was no induction of 24-hydroxylase activity; binding of...
