Abstract
Context: Familial hypoparathyroidism has a heterogeneous presentation where patients usually have low parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels due to impaired production or secretion. This contrasts with pseudohypoparathyroidism, in which PTH resistance is usually associated with an elevated serum PTH. High levels of circulating PTH can also be due to bioinactive PTH, which is difficult to distinguish from pseudohypoparathyroidism on biochemical grounds. Case Description: We report on 2 sisters from consanguineous parents who presented with tetany at birth and were diagnosed with congenital hypocalcemia. Serum PTH levels were normal for many years, but progressively increased in midadulthood to greater than 100x the upper limit of normal on multiple assays. Homozygosity mapping was performed on 1 sister that demonstrated loss of heterozygosity (LOH) around PTH. Sequencing revealed a previously unreported variant, c.94T>C, predicting a codon change of p.Ser32Pro that is biologically inactive. Conclusions: This case report shows a previously unreported unusual biochemical phenotype of a rising PTH in the context of a novel PTH mutation. This expands the evolving genotypes associated with hypoparathyroidism without established gene mutations.Keywords
