Preferred Label : Vitamin D-dependent rickets, type 2b, with normal vitamin D receptor;
Symbol : VDDR2B;
CISMeF acronym : VDDR2B;
Type : Phenotype or locus, molecular basis unknown;
Description : Vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2B with normal vitamin D receptor (VDDR2B) is an
unusual form of rickets due to abnormal expression of a hormone response element-binding
protein that interferes with the normal function of the vitamin D receptor. Vitamin
D-dependent rickets type 2A (VDDR2A) is caused by mutation in the vitamin D receptor
gene (VDR; 601769), and most patients have alopecia in addition to rickets. For a
general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of rickets
due to disorders in vitamin D metabolism or action, see vitamin D-dependent rickets
type 1A (VDDR1A; 264700).;
Inheritance : Isolated cases;
Laboratory abnormalities : Low to normal serum calcium; Increased alkaline phosphatase; Increased serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3; May have increased serum parathyroid hormone (PTH);
