Neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism (NSHPTH) and FHH, usually defined as a ratio of calcium clearance/creatinin clearance <0.01 with normal kidney function and vitamin D status, are caused by respectively heterozygote and homozygote inactivating mutations of the CaSR gene. The aim of this study was to assess the interest of analyzing CaSR in hypercalcalcemic subjects suspected to have FHH.Patients and methods: Forty hypercalcaemic subjects fro...
