Context: Mutations of cytochrome P450 24 subfamily A member 1 (CYP24A1) gene are associated with Idiopathic Infantile Hypercalcemia (IIH), a disease recently related to vitamin D catabolism impairment.

Aim of the study: Report of clinical and biochemical features of a large family with a novel mutation of CYP24A1.

Methods: We performed dosage of total calcium, ionized calcium, 24 h urinary calcium, PTH, 25-OH-Vitamin D (25-OH-D), and 24–25 Vitamin D, genetic analysis of CYP24A1 and abdomen ultrasound in the proband, a 44 year old man, and in first-degree relatives (Mother, Father, Sister and Two sons). Vitamin D metabolites were analyzed using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry at Queen’s University Laboratory (Kingston, Canada).

Results: The proband showed high levels of total calcium, 25-OH-D, 1,25-(OH)2-D and low levels of PTH, 24,25-(OH)2D3 and 1,24,25-(OH)3D3. 25-OH-D/24-25-OH-D ratio was high (500.5). Abdomen ultrasound showed bilateral nefrolitiasis. Genetic analysis revealed a novel homozygous mutation. In first-degree relatives, serum calcium and 25-OH-vitamin D were in the upper limit of normal range and PTH low. The 25-OH-D/24-25-OH-D ratio was normal. Abdomen ultrasound showed nefrolitiasis only in the sister. Genetic analysis confirmed the mutation in heterozygosity in each member.

Conclusions: We report the biochemical and clinical features of a family with a novel CYP24 A1 mutation. Preliminary data suggest that the new mutation is associated with a mild phenotype. However, genetic and environmental factors could contribute in the clinical outcome.
