pubmed:abstractText |
Idiopathic infantile hypercalcaemia (IIH) is a rare disease that generally resolves spontaneously between the age of 1 and 3 years. Similar symptoms may occur in patients suffering from Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS), which is caused by a microdeletion on chromosome 7. Two of the genes, named CLDN3 and CLDN4, located within this region are members of the claudin family that has been shown to be involved in paracellular calcium (Ca(2+)) absorption. Based on the hemizygous loss of CLDN3 and CLDN4 in WBS and the function of these genes in paracellular Ca(2+) transport, we hypothesized that mutations in CLDN3 or CLDN4 could also be involved in IIH.
