Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia caused by homozygous CaSR gene mutation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) is a group of autosomal dominant genetic diseases with persistent hypercalcemia and hypocalciuria. The calcium-sensitive receptor (CaSR) plays an important role in calcium and phosphorus metabolism. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 32-year-old man who had diabetes was admitted to our hospital due to poor glycemic control, and was found to have hypercalcemia, hypophosphatemia, and hyperparathyroidism. Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) (99-mTcMIBI) examination result was negative. The result of 24-h urine calcium was 2.18 mmol/24 h, and the 24-h urinary calcium to creatinine ratio (UCCR) was 0.006. Family survey showed that all of the family members had hypercalcemia. DIAGNOSIS: The CaSR gene mutation study revealed that the proband had a homozygous mutation for a T>C nucleotide substitution at c.1664 in exon 6, while both the mother and the father had heterozygous mutations at the same site of exon 6. The clinical diagnosis was considered to be FHH type1. INTERVENTIONS: The patient was treated with conventional calcium-lowering therapy which was not effective. Cinacalcet was suggested but not used. The patient received salmon calcitonin nasal spray and furosemide tablets treatment for 1 month after discharge, and then stopped the medication. OUTCOMES: On follow up 4 months after being discharged, the serum calcium level was 3.18 mmol/L, and the PTH level was 275.4 ng/mL. He had felt fatigued, intermittent abdominal pain and lost 3.9 kg of weight. CONCLUSION: This case studied a family with FHH, and the CaSR gene c.1664T>c mutation was the possible pathogenic cause. If parathyroid location examination is unclear for hyperparathyroidism, the possibility of FHH should be considered. For FHH patients, conventional calcium reduction therapy was ineffective and parathyroid surgery cannot alleviate their hypercalcemia.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
