Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia types 1, 2, and 3 (FHH1, FHH2, and FHH3) are caused by loss-of-function mutations of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), G-protein subunit α11 (Gα11) and adaptor protein 2 sigma subunit (AP2σ), respectively; whilst autosomal dominant hypocalcaemia types 1 and 2 (ADH1 and ADH2) are due to gain-of-function mutations of CaSR and Gα11, respectively. We therefore hypothesised that gain-of-function AP2σ mutations may re...
