Case Presentation: Functional Assessment of a CASR Variant Identified in a Patient with Hypercalcaemia Confirms Familial Hypocalciuric Hypercalcaemia in the Patient and a Sister Previously Misdiagnosed with Primary Hyperparathyroidism

Dose response curves for wild type, L34P variant, and a known inactivating (L174R) variant CaSR using the IP-One ELISA assay following Ca++ ion (1.5, 2.5, 4, 7, or 10 mM) stimulation in HEK293 cells. The IP-One ELISA assay was performed as described previously (see reference 18). Values represent the mean % stimulation (with ±2x standard error of the mean error bars) plotted against Ca++ ion concentration for three separate experiments. Calculation of % stimulation and statistical comparisons between the wild type and variant receptors were as described in reference 18.
