Autosomal dominant hypocalcemia (ADH) type 1 is one of the genetic etiologies of hypoparathyroidism caused by heterozygous activating mutations in the calcium-sensing receptor (CASR) gene. The variant c.368T>C (p.Leu123Ser) in heterozygosity in the CASR gene is likely pathogenic and suggests the diagnosis of ADH type 1. Teriparatide (recombinant human parathyroid hormone 1-34) may be a valid treatment option to achieve clinical stability for those individuals whose condition is poorly controlled by current standard therapy.
