Hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets (HVDRR) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterised by early-onset severe hypocalcaemia in the presence of increased serum calcitriol levels. Mutations in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) are the primary molecular defect determining resistance to vitamin D and consequent hypocalcaemia. Nevertheless, in spite of permanent VDR defects, many pa…
The genomic location of calcitriol-activated vitamin D receptor (VDR) and retinoid X receptor (RXR) will be investigated in control and p.Arg30* VDR-mutant fibroblasts, allowing the definition of calcitriol-VDR cistrome in this system and the identification of compensatory molecular mechanisms in the absence of a functional VDR.
