Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: The pathophysiology of [Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia] is due to an inactivating missense mutation in the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) located on the short arm of the chromosome 3 (FBHH3q). The mutation of CaSR is associated with two inherited conditions FBHH and neonatal hyperparathyroidism. CaSR is a plasma membrane G protein-coupled receptor which is expressed on the chief cells of the parathyroid glands and the cells lining the renal tubules. CasR has the ability to sense any changes in the circulating calcium concentrated and send this information through the signaling pathway to the Parathyroid gland that modifies the PTH secretion.
Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis
- The pathophysiology of familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia is due to an inactivating mutation in the calcium sensing receptor (CaSR)[1][2][3] located on the short arm of the chromosome 3 (FBHH3q).[4]
- CaSR is a plasma membrane G protein coupled receptor which is expressed on the chief cells of the parathyroid glands and the cells lining the renal tubules[5].
- CasR has the ability to sense the any changes in the circulating calcium concentrated and send this information through the signalling pathway to the Parathyroid gland that modifies the PTH secretion.
Genetics
- [Disease name] is transmitted in [mode of genetic transmission] pattern.
- Genes involved in the pathogenesis of [disease name] include [gene1], [gene2], and [gene3].
- The development of [disease name] is the result of multiple genetic mutations.
Associated Conditions
FHH, sometimes is associated with pancreatitis as mutation in CaSR can make the pancreas susceptible for inflammation[6].
Gross Pathology
- On gross pathology is seen in FHH.
Microscopic Pathology
- No microscopic histopathological changes seen in FHH.
