Biallelic mutations in CYP24A1 or SLC34A1 as a cause of infantile idiopathic hypercalcemia (IIH) with vitamin D hypersensitivity: molecular study of 11 historical IIH cases.

ABSTRACT: Idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia (IIH) is a mineral metabolism disorder characterized by severe hypercalcemia, failure to thrive, vomiting, dehydration, and nephrocalcinosis. The periodical increase in incidence of IIH, which occurred in the twentieth century in the United Kingdom, Poland, and West Germany, turned out to be a side effect of rickets over-prophylaxis. It was recently discovered that the condition is linked to two genes, CYP24A1 and SLC34A1. The aim of the study was to search for pathogenic variants of the genes in adult persons who were shortlisted in infancy as IIH caused by "hypersensitivity to vit. D". All persons were found to carry mutations in CYP24A1 or SLC34A1, nine and two persons respectively. The changes were biallelic, with one exception. Incidence of IIH in Polish population estimated on the basis of allele frequency of recurrent p.R396W CYP24A1 variant, is 1:32,465 births. It indicates that at least a thousand homozygotes and compound heterozygotes with risk of IIH live in the country. Differences in mechanism of developing hypercalcemia indicate that its prevention may vary in both IIH defects. Theoretically, vit. D restriction is a first indication for CYP24A1 defect (which disturbs 1,25(OH)2D degradation) and phosphate supplementation for SLC34A1 defect (which impairs renal phosphate transport). In conclusion, we suggest that molecular testing for CYP24A1 and SLC34A1 mutations should be performed in each case of idiopathic hypercalcemia/hypercalciuria, both in children and adults, to determine the proper way for acute treatment and complications prevention.

Project description:BackgroundInfantile hypercalcaemia (IH) is a vitamin D3 metabolism disorder. The molecular basis for IH is biallelic mutations in the CYP24A1 or SLC34A1 gene. These changes lead to catabolism disorders (CYP24A1 mutations) or excessive generation of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] (SLC34A1 mutations). The incidence rate of IH in children and the risk level for developing end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are still unknown. The aim of this study was to analyse the long-term outcome of adolescents and young adults who suffered from IH in infancy.DesignForty-two children (23 girls; average age 10.7 ± 6.3 years) and 26 adults (14 women; average age 24.2 ± 4.4 years) with a personal history of hypercalcaemia with elevated 1,25(OH)2D3 levels were included in the analysis. In all patients, a genetic analysis of possible IH mutations was conducted, as well as laboratory tests and renal ultrasonography.ResultsIH was confirmed in 20 studied patients (10 females). CYP24A1 mutations were found in 16 patients (8 females) and SLC34A1 in 4 patients (2 females). The long-term outcome was assessed in 18 patients with an average age of 23.8 years (age range 2-34). The average glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was 72 mL/min/1.73 m2 (range 15-105). Two patients with a CYP24A1 mutation developed ESRD and underwent renal transplantation. A GFR <90 mL/min/1.73 m2 was found in 14 patients (77%), whereas a GFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 was seen in 5 patients (28%), including 2 adults after renal transplantation. Three of 18 patients still had serum calcium levels >2.6 mmol/L. A renal ultrasound revealed nephrocalcinosis in 16 of 18 (88%) patients, however, mild hypercalciuria was detected in only one subject.ConclusionsSubjects who suffered from IH have a greater risk of progressive chronic kidney disease and nephrocalcinosis. This indicates that all survivors of IH should be closely monitored, with early implementation of preventive measures, e.g. inhibition of active metabolites of vitamin D3 synthesis.

Project description:Idiopathic Infantile Hypercalcemia (IIH) is characterized by hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria owing to PTH-independent increases in circulating concentrations of 1,25(OH)2D. At least 3 forms of IHH can be distinguished genetically and mechanistically: infantile hypercalcemia-1 (Hypercalcemia, Infantile, 1; HCINF1) due to CYP24A1 mutations results in decreased inactivation of 1,25(OH)2D; HCINF2 due to SLC34A1 mutations results in excessive 1,25(OH)2D production; and HCINF3 in which a variety of gene variants of uncertain significance (VUS) have been identified and where the mechanism for increased 1,25 (OH)2D is unclear. Conventional management with dietary calcium and vitamin D restriction has only limited success. Induction of the P450 enzyme CYP3A4 by rifampin can provide an alternate pathway for inactivation of 1,25(OH)2D that is useful in HCINF1 and may be effective in other forms of IIH. We sought to assess the efficacy of rifampin to decrease levels of serum 1,25(OH)2D and calcium, and urinary calcium concentrations in subjects with HCINF3, and to compare the response to a control subject with HCINF1. Four subjects with HCINF3 and the control subject with HCINF1 completed the study using rifampin 5 mg/kg/day and 10 mg/kg/day each for 2 months separated by a 2-month washout period. Patients had age-appropriate intake of dietary calcium plus 200 IU vitamin D/day. Primary outcome was efficacy of rifampin to lower serum concentrations of 1,25(OH)2D. The secondary outcomes included the reduction of serum calcium, urinary calcium excretion (as random urine calcium: creatinine (ca:cr) ratio) and serum 1,25(OH)2D/PTH ratio. Rifampin was well tolerated and induced CYP3A4 at both doses in all subjects. The control subject with HCINF1 showed significant response to both rifampin doses with decreases in the serum concentration of 1,25(OH)2D and the 1,25(OH)2D/PTH ratio while the serum and urine ca:cr levels were unchanged. The four patients with HCINF3 showed reductions in 1,25(OH)2D and urinary ca:cr after 10 mg/kg/d, but hypercalcemia did not improve and there were variable responses in 1,25(OH)2D/PTH ratios. These results support further longer-term studies to clarify the usefulness of rifampin as a medical therapy for IIH.
