Abstract

VITAMIN-D-dependent (or pseudo-vitamin-D-deficient) rickets is characterized by clinical and biochemical features of vitamin-D-deficient rickets and by remission of these features during treatment with supraphysiologic doses of vitamin D or of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-(OH)D).1,2 It is often hereditary, with patterns suggestive of autosomal-recessive transmission. In members of several kindreds who are classified as having vitamin-D-dependent rickets Type I, concentrations of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) in serum have been low3,4; these patients can be treated with doses of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25-(OH)2D3) that are estimated to maintain a normal average serum concentration and turnover of this metabolite.3 Presumably,. . .
