Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia (FHH) comprises three genetic variants: FHH types 1 and 2 are due to mutations of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) and G-protein subunit alpha-11, whereas, FHH type 3 (FHH3) is caused by heterozygous mutations affecting the Arg15 residue (Arg15Cys, Arg15His, Arg15Leu) of the adaptor-related protein complex 2-sigma subunit (AP2S1), which regulates CaSR endocytosis. FHH is usually associated with mild hypercalcaemia, normal parathyroid ho...
