In this study, researchers identified a unique Arg30stop mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene that causes hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets in a young French-Canadian boy by truncating the receptor and causing hormone resistance.

This study found that somatic mosaic mutations in the doublecortin gene may cause subcortical band heterotopia in male patients, and molecular analysis using hair roots is a useful detection method.

This study found that the R257X mutation in the AIRE gene is prevalent among Russian patients with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1, particularly in those with hypoparathyroidism and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis.

This study found a novel PAX9 gene mutation that may cause tooth agenesis and trichodysplasia in a studied family.

This abstract reviews hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, a rare genetic condition causing severe early childhood rickets, and reports no new results; effective treatment typically requires high doses of calcium to address hypocalcemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism.
