Introduction: Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) is a lifelong,benign, inherited condition caused by inactivating mutations in thecalcium-sensing receptor (CASR) gene. Both FHH and primary
hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) are characterized by elevated P-calcium,normal or elevated plasmaparathyroid hormone (P-PTH), and typicallynormal renal function. In PHPT, vitamin D metabolism is typicallycharacterized by low plasma levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD), andhigh plasma levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(HO) 2 D). In FHH, thevitamin D metabolism is not very well known. Objective: To compare andevaluate plasma 25OHD, 1,25(OH) 2 D, and PTH in FHH and PHPT. Design:
Cross-sectional study. Materials: About 66 FHH patients with mutations inthe CASR gene, 147 patients with surgically verified PHPT, and 46controls matched to FHH patients according to age (± 5 years), sex, andseason. All patients had a P-creatinine < 140 µmol/l. Methods: We
measured P-calcium, P-Ca 2+ , P-albumin, P-creatinine, P-phosphate, Pmagnesium, and P-PTH by standard laboratory methods. P-25OHD and P1,25(OH) 2 D were measured by RIA or enzyme immunoassay, In FHH, allprotein-coding exons in the CASR gene were sequenced and aligned toGenBank reference sequence NM_000388.2. Results: PHPT patients had higher
body mass index (2p<0.01), together with higher P-PTH (2p< 0.01) and P1,25(OH) 2 )D (2p<0.01) compared with FHH patients. The groups had
similar levels of P-Ca 2+ and of P-25OHD. The phenotypic expression ofthe CASR mutations (as determined by the degree of hypercalcemia) did not
influence the levels of P-1,25(OH) 2 D. Conclusion: Even though Pcalcium, andP-25OHD were comparable, P-1,25(OH) 2 D and P-PTH differed
between FHH and PHPT. .COPYRGT. 2008 European Society of Endocrinology.
