Abstract
⺠ADH is a calcium metabolism syndrome caused by activating mutations of the CASR gene. ⺠We identified two CASR mutations in two four-generation families with ADH. ⺠One mutation was novel and we performed functional assays. ⺠The other mutation was reported and an association with heart failure was suggested. ⺠Functional assays confirmed the gain of function of the novel CASR mutation.
