Neonatal severe primary hyperparathyroidism (NSHPT) is characterized by severe hypercalcemia (> 3.5 mM) from birth and associated with major hyperparathyroidism.
Features include: Aminoaciduria, Low muscle tone (hypotonia), Enlarged liver (hepatomegaly), and Generalized hypotonia and 19 more.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
|---|---|---|
Digestive system | 4 | Enlarged liver (hepatomegaly), Feeding difficulties in infancy, Constipation |
CASR encodes calcium sensing receptor (1,078 aa). G-protein-coupled receptor that senses changes in the extracellular concentration of calcium ions and plays a key role in maintaining calcium homeostasis. Highest expression in Kidney Medulla (18.1 TPM) and Pancreas (3.5 TPM).
Neonatal severe primary hyperparathyroidism is caused by mutations in the CASR gene on chromosome 3.
The CASR protein participates in CASR:CASR agonists pathway.
CASR is classified as a druggable target (Cell Surface, Clinically Actionable, Druggable Genome, and G Protein Coupled Receptor categories) with score 6.1.
Genetic testing for CASR is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Estimated prevalence: Unknown (Unknown prevalence).
1 clinical trial registered. Interventions under study include other interventions. Research is primarily sponsored by academic and government institutions.
6 publications have been identified in PubMed for neonatal severe primary hyperparathyroidism. Research spans Case Report / Case Series (50%), Review / Meta-Analysis (33%), and Gene Therapy / Novel Therapeutics (17%).
