Two different mutations in the vitamin D receptor gene cause different symptoms and responses to treatment in Lebanese patients with hereditary rickets.

Mutations in the vitamin D receptor cause hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, leading to poor bone health and requiring high calcium doses for treatment.

A Chinese family had a child with a specific gene mutation causing vitamin D-resistant rickets, but the child improved with calcium and low-dose calcitriol.

Mice without the vitamin D receptor have bone issues and other health problems, suggesting vitamin D is important for preventing various diseases in humans.

The vitamin D receptor is crucial for bone health and affects various body systems, with mutations potentially leading to disease.

Two rare genetic diseases cause severe rickets in children due to defects in vitamin D metabolism.

A child with a rare vitamin D-resistant condition improved with treatment.

The document explains the genetic causes and characteristics of inherited hair disorders.

A girl with rickets and hair loss was found to have a rare condition where her body didn't respond to vitamin D treatment.

Hair loss can be a key sign of a rare type of rickets when vitamin D treatment doesn't work and advanced tests aren't available.

Vitamin D-dependent rickets Type II causes bone problems and hair loss, and doesn't improve with Vitamin D treatment.

Three siblings with a genetic form of rickets showed different symptoms of the disease.

A child with rickets and hair loss might have a rare type of rickets that doesn't improve much with usual vitamin D and calcium treatment.

The document concludes that various childhood hair and nail disorders exist, some may improve on their own, and advances in genetics and immunology could enhance treatment and counseling.

Vitamin D has potential benefits for cancer prevention, heart health, diabetes, obesity, muscle function, skin health, and immune function, but clinical results are mixed and more research is needed.

A boy with severe Vitamin D-resistant rickets did not respond to treatment and lacked a common symptom, suggesting a need for alternative treatments.

A 3-year-old with vitamin D-resistant rickets and severe hair loss died despite treatment, highlighting the need for improved management of the condition.

Early diagnosis and treatment of hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets (HVDRR) are crucial to prevent growth issues and other health problems.

A child with a rare type of rickets showed some improvement with high doses of vitamin D, but such conditions often respond poorly to treatment.

VDR regulation varies by tissue and is crucial for its biological functions.

Six genetic conditions are often linked to complete scalp hair loss in children.

The vitamin D receptor helps regulate skin and hair health independently of its usual vitamin D ligand.

Vitamin D is essential for bone health and may reduce risks of several diseases.

HVDRR is caused by VDR gene mutations, leading to vitamin D resistance, treatable with high calcium doses, but alopecia remains permanent.

Follicle Stimulating Hormone is important for fertility.

A 4-year-old boy with a rare type of rickets and hair loss improved in bone health but not hair growth after vitamin D and calcium treatment.
