Evgenia Gurevich, Yael Borovitz, Shelli Levi, Sharon Perlman & Daniel Landau
doi : 10.1007/s00467-022-05740-w
Idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia (IIH) etiologies include pathogenic variants in CYP24A1, leading to increased 1,25(OH)2 D, hypercalciuria and suppressed parathyroid hormone (PTH), and in SLC34A1 and SLC34A3, leading to the same metabolic profile via increased phosphaturia. IIH has not been previously described in CKD due to kidney hypodysplasia (KHD).
