G-protein subunit α-11 (Gα11), which is encoded by GNA11, plays a major role in calcium homeostasis by regulating parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion, and germline loss-of-function mutations cause familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia type 2 (FHH2). Since Gα11 is ubiquitously expressed, we investigated whether FHH2 is associated with additional non-calcitropic phenotypes by analysing mice harbouring a homozygous germline deletion o...
