Autosomal dominant hypocalcaemia caused by a Ca2+-sensing receptor gene mutation

Abstract: Defects in the human Ca(2+)-sensing receptor gene have recently been shown to cause familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia and neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism. We now demonstrate that a missense mutation (Glu128Ala) in this gene causes familial hypocalcaemia in affected members of one family. Xenopus oocytes expressing the mutant receptor exhibit a larger increase in inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate in response to Ca2+ than oocytes expressing the wild-type receptor. We conclude that this extracellular domain mut… Show more

“…E xtracellular calcium ([Ca 2þ ] e ) and the activated form of vitamin D [1,25(OH) 2 D] play important roles in modulating systemic calcium homeostasis. [Ca 2þ ] e activates a cation-sensing G protein-coupled receptor (CaSR) to modulate the concentrations of circulating parathyroid hormone (PTH) and to regulate renal calcium reabsorption.…”

“…(1) Gain-of-function mutations in the CASR gene in humans cause autosomal dominant hypocalcemia, a condition of mild to moderate hypocalcemia associated with suppression of PTH secretion that can be accompanied by hypercalciuria. (2) Loss-of-function mutations in the CASR gene cause familial benign hypocalciuric hypercalcemia in heterozygotes and neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism in homozygotes, both associated with increased PTH secretion and diminished renal calcium excretion but of differing severities. (3) Targeted deletion of the Casr gene in mice produced a phenocopy of the human condition resulting from inactivating CASR mutations.…”

“…within the lower half of the normal range or frankly subnormal. 73 Affected individuals often exhibit relative or absolute hypercalciuria, with normal or frankly elevated urinary calcium excretion, respectively, in spite of their low serum calcium concentration. Some, but not all, studies have shown that renal calcium excretion in ADH is higher than that in typical hypoparathyroidism.…”

“…Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disorder characterized by elevated PTH levels (Khosla et al 1993). Others involve inactivating mutations in the CaSR gene, resulting in familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) or neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism (NSHPT; Pollak et al 1993), whereas autosomal dominant hypocalcemia (ADH) is caused by activating mutations (Pollak et al 1994). From the clinical symptoms of these PTH-related disorders, like hypoor hypercalciuria and renal stone formation, it is clear that also renal Ca 2+ handling is affected.…”
