Genotype-phenotype Description of Vitamin D–dependent Rickets 1A: CYP27B1 p.(Ala129Thr) Variant Induces a Milder Disease

J Clin Endocrinol MetabPublished Retrospective multicentre case series

Authors' conclusion

Overall, our findings highlight good outcomes under substitutive treatment and the need of a closer follow-up of eyes, teeth, kidneys, and blood pressure in VDDR1A.

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Age at diagnosis, median (min-max)
1.5 (0.5-8.7) years
Serum calcium, median (min-max)
1.97 (1.40-2.40) mmol/L
Phosphate, median (min-max)
−3.4 (−13.4 to (-)0.2) SD score for age
PTH, median (min-max)
6.6 (1.3-13.7) times upper limit for normal (ULN)
Alkaline phosphatase, median (min-max)
1968 (521-7000) IU/L
Abnormal bone radiographs
83%

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Genetics

Variations identified (11 missense, 3 frameshift, 2 truncating, 1 acceptor splice site)
17
Homozygous state
58% (11/19)

Genotype-phenotype: p.(Ala129Thr) partial loss-of-function variant

P.(Ala129Thr) associated with milder phenotype: older age at diagnosis, higher serum calcium, lower PTH, lower alkaline phosphatase

Outcomes under alfacalcidol

Clinical (skeletal, neurological), biochemical and radiological outcomes satisfactory

Safety

Complications occurred with bad adherence
