Objectives: Neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism (NSHPT) is induced by inactivating mutations of human calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR). We report the case of a now 11 year-old boy with NSHPT. We characterize a novel inactivating mutation with the results of some functional analyses.
Case: In the neonatal age the patient presented the clinical syndrome of NSHPT. At the age of 6 years, persisting hypercalcemia without clinical symptoms was documented, and the patient remained completely symptom-free without parathyroid surgery until his present age of 11 years.
Methods: The entire coding region of the CaSR gene of the patient, and exons 6 and 7 from his family members were sequenced. Functional investigation was performed in HEK-293 cells, transiently transfected with wild type and mutant CaSR plasmid constructs.
Results: Sequence analysis revealed a novel de novo heterozygous mutation at codon 551 (AGG→AAG) predicting a change of arginine to lysine (R551K) and a known heterozygous polymorphism (A986S) on the same allele, which was inherited from the father. We demonstrated that the novel R551K mutation significantly reduced the calcium sensitivity of CaSR (EC50: from 3.38±0.62 to 6.10±0.83 mmol/l) which was not alleviated by the simultaneous presence of A986S polymorphism.
Conclusion: We present the fourth NSHPT case induced by a novel de novo heterozygous inactivating mutation (R551K) of the CaSR gene. The disease gradually reverted to a symptomless, benign condition resembling familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia without any surgical intervention.
