Defects in 24-hydroxylation caused by vitamin D-hydroxylase (CYP24A1) loss-of-function mutations lead to decreased degradation of 1,25(OH)2D and the syndrome of idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia. Affected individuals show increased sensitivity to vitamin D and may develop severe hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria, even with small doses of vitamin D.Presenting: The objective of the study was to investigate the gene expression profile in...
