Vitamin D dependent rickets type I

Abstract: Vitamin D is present in two forms, ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) produced by plants and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) produced by animal tissues or by the action of ultraviolet light on 7-dehydrocholesterol in human skin. Both forms of vitamin D are biologically inactive pro-hormones that must undergo sequential hydroxylations in the liver and the kidney before they can bind to and activate the vitamin D receptor. The hormonally active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D], plays an essential r… Show more

“…In other forms of rickets, such as vitamin‐D‐resistant rickets (VDRR), increasing the 25(OH)D status may not counteract the associated muscle weakness and delayed growth. Type 1 VDRR is a disorder characterized by low or undetectable concentrations of 1α,25‐dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH) 2 D, an active metabolite of vitamin D] due to a mutation in the renal enzyme 25(OH)D‐1‐α‐hydroxylase (CYP27B1) 61 . This mutation prevents conversion of 25(OH)D to 1,25(OH) 2 D, which can only be corrected with 1,25(OH) 2 D supplementation.…”

“…Genetic defects in one or the other of the above enzymes leads to rare forms of rickets. Most cases stem from the deficient function of the 1α-hydroxylase, also described as vitamin-D-dependent rickets type 1A (VDDR-1A), which is encoded by the CYP27B1 gene at chromosome 12 [2][3][4] . So far, 64 different mutations in CYP27B1 have been reported in more than 100 patients [5,6] .…”

“…So far, 64 different mutations in CYP27B1 have been reported in more than 100 patients [5,6] . Children with VDDR-1A present in early infancy with muscle weakness, joint deformity, bowed legs, growth failure, seizures or fractures, and metabolic abnormalities of the calcium homeostasis, with the vast majority of the patients having as a hallmark low levels of 1,25-(OH) 2 vitamin D in the presence of normal 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH vitamin D) levels [6] . Herein, we report a 20-month-old boy with VDDR-1A with distinct clinical and radiological findings consistent with rickets but with normal levels of 1,25-(OH) 2 vitamin D. CYP27B1 gene analysis identified two novel mutations in our patient.…”

“…Clinically, VDDR1 is characterized by hypotonia, muscle weakness, growth failure, and radiographic findings of rickets. Typical laboratory findings are hypocalcaemia, elevated serum levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) with low or undetectable levels of 1,25(OH) 2 D despite normal or increased concentrations of 25OHD [3]. …”
