Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic basis for a child with neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism. METHODS: Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples from the patient and her parents. Whole exome sequencing was carried out to screen potential mutations. Suspected mutation was verified by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS: The proband was found to carry compound heterozygous variants c.179G>A (p.Cys60Tyr) and c.1525G>A (p.Gly509Arg) of the CaSR gene. The c.179G>A variant was derived from her mother and was unreported previously. The c.1525G>A variant was derived from her father and known to be pathogenic. CONCLUSION: The compound heterozygous variants of c.179G>A and c.1525G>A of the CaSR gene probably underlie the disease in the patient. The results of genetic testing has enabled diagnosis and genetic counseling for her family.
