Unmeasurable low vitamin D levels caused by a novel, homozygote loss-of-function variant in the group-specific component gene.
A 29-year-old female, born to consanguineous parents, was found with unmeasurable levels of vitamin D (<10 nmol/L) after routine biochemical screening during her first pregnancy. She did not respond to either oral or intramuscular vitamin D supplementation and was an otherwise healthy young woman, with no signs of rickets, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, or secondary hyperparathyroidism. Western blot analysis revealed total lack of vitamin D binding protein, and next generation sequencing confirmed a novel, pathogenic homozygote loss-of-function mutation in exon 13 of the group-specific component gene, that encodes the poly A tail for vitamin D binding protein. She was therefore diagnosed with hereditary DBP deficiency, and vitamin D supplementation was diminished to life-long regular vitamin D supplementation (25 μg per day). This case is extremely interesting, as it expands our knowledge of vitamin D physiology and supports the free hormone hypothesis, given that the patient was asymptomatic despite no measurable levels of vitamin D.
期刊介绍:
European Journal of Endocrinology is the official journal of the European Society of Endocrinology. Its predecessor journal is Acta Endocrinologica.
The journal publishes high-quality original clinical and translational research papers and reviews in paediatric and adult endocrinology, as well as clinical practice guidelines, position statements and debates. Case reports will only be considered if they represent exceptional insights or advances in clinical endocrinology.
Topics covered include, but are not limited to, Adrenal and Steroid, Bone and Mineral Metabolism, Hormones and Cancer, Pituitary and Hypothalamus, Thyroid and Reproduction. In the field of Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism we welcome manuscripts addressing endocrine mechanisms of disease and its complications, management of obesity/diabetes in the context of other endocrine conditions, or aspects of complex disease management. Reports may encompass natural history studies, mechanistic studies, or clinical trials.
Equal consideration is given to all manuscripts in English from any country.
