Table 2. Calcitropic disorders caused by germline CASR, GNA11 and AP2S1 mutations.
| Gene mutation and disease | Genotype | Serum calcium | Serum PTH | Urine calcium |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CASR mutations | ||||
| Loss-of-function | ||||
| Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia type 1 (FHH1) | Heterozygous* | High | Normal or high | Low |
| Neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism (NSHPT) | Heterozygous, compound heterozygous, or homozygous | High | High | Normal, low or high |
| Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT)† | Heterozygous or homozygous | High | High | Normal, low or high |
| Gain-of-function | ||||
| Autosomal dominant hypocalcemia type 1 (ADH1) | Heterozygous* | Low | Normal or low | Normal, low or high |
| Bartter syndrome type V | Heterozygous | Low | Low | High |
| GNA11 mutations | ||||
| Loss-of-function | ||||
| Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia type 2 (FHH2) | Heterozygous | High | Normal or high | Normal or low |
| Gain-of-function | ||||
| Autosomal dominant hypocalcemia type 2 (ADH2) | Heterozygous | Low | Normal or low | Normal or low |

| Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia type 3 (FHH3) | Heterozygous | High | Normal or high | Low |
May occasionally be caused by homozygous CASR mutations (Cavaco et al., 2018; Lietman et al., 2009).
CASR mutations are a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism.
