Background: Congenital hypoparathyroidism in children is a condition with diverse genetic etiologies. Kenny-Caffey syndrome (KCS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by hypoparathyroidism, short stature, cortical thickening and medullary stenosis of the tubular bone and dysmorphic features including micrognathia, prominent forehead and eye abnormalities. The autosomal dominant form of KCS [KCS type 2(KCS2)] is differenced from autosomal recessive form of KCS [KCS type 1 (...

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heritable bone dysplasia with collagen-related defects. Dominantly inherited OI is caused by structural defects in type I collagen or IFITM5, while recessive forms are caused by deficiency of proteins that interact with collagen for modification, folding or cross-linking. We have identified the first X-linked form of OI, caused by a defect in regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP). One type of RIP involves sequential cleavage of regulatory ...
