Bone Matrix Mineralization in Patients With Gain-of-Function Calcium-Sensing Receptor Mutations Is Distinctly Different From that in Postsurgical Hypoparathyroidism
Abstract:The role of the calcium‐sensing receptor (CaSR) as a regulator of parathyroid hormone secretion is well established, but its function in bone is less well defined. In an effort to elucidate the CaSR's skeletal role, bone tissue and material characteristics from patients with autosomal dominant hypocalcemia (ADH), a genetic form of primary hypoparathyroidism caused by CASR gain‐of‐function mutations, were compared to patients with postsurgical hypoparathyroidism (PSH). Bone structure and formation/resorption in… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
