A Novel Loss-of-Function Mutation, Gln459Arg, of the Calcium-Sensing Receptor Gene Associated with Apparent Autosomal Recessive Inheritance of Familial Hypocalciuric Hypercalcemia
Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 10/14/09
Lietman SA et al. – The authors identified a novel loss–of–function Q459R mutation in the CASR gene that exhibits mildly reduced sensitivity to calcium and that is associated with apparent autosomal recessive transmission of FHH. This study demonstrates the importance of genetic testing in FHH to distinguish between de novo and inherited mutations of the CASR gene and assist in management decisions.
