Description : Familial hypomagnesemia with secondary hypocalcemia is a rare autosomal recessive
disorder characterized by very low serum magnesium levels. Hypocalcemia is a secondary
consequence of parathyroid failure and parathyroid hormone resistance as a result
of severe magnesium deficiency. The disease typically manifests during the first months
of life with generalized convulsions or signs of increased neuromuscular excitability,
such as muscle spasms or tetany. Untreated, the disease may be fatal or lead to severe
neurologic damage. Treatment includes immediate administration of magnesium, usually
intravenously, followed by life-long high-dose oral magnesium (reviewed by Knoers,
2009). - Genetic Heterogeneity of Hypomagnesemia A form of hypomagnesemia due to kidney
defects and high urinary magnesium excretion associated with hypocalciuria (HOMG2;
154020) is caused by mutation in the FXYD2 gene (601814). Renal hypomagnesemia-3 (HOMG3;
248250), associated with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis, is caused by mutation
in the CLDN16 gene (603959). Renal hypomagnesemia-4 (HOMG4; 611718), which is normocalciuric,
is caused by mutation in the EGF gene (131530). Renal hypomagnesemia-5 (HOMG5; 248190),
associated with hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, and severe ocular involvement, is
caused by mutation in the CLDN19 gene (610036). Renal hypomagnesemia-6 (HOMG6; 613882)
is caused by mutation in the CNNM2 gene (607803). Patients with Gitelman syndrome
(263800) and Bartter syndrome (see 241200) also show hypomagnesemia, and steatorrhea
and severe chronic diarrhea states, such as Crohn disease (see 226600) and Whipple
disease, that can result in severe hypomagnesemia.;
