Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education:
Activating mutation of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) causes hypocalcaemia with hypercalciuria and it may also cause a Bartter’s phenotype by inhibition of transporters in thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle (Bartter’s syndrome type 5). Several mutations have been identified in the CaSR gene. The clinical presentation and onset timing of Bartter phenotype differ according to the type of mutation.
