General information
Vitamin D-Resistant Rickets (VDR) is a bone disease caused by an enzymatic pathway defect. Rickets, also known as osteomalacia, is usually due to a lack of vitamin D or calcium, which can occur because of environmental and/or genetic factors. VDR causes symptoms that look the same as seen in individuals suffering from non-genetic lack of vitamin D.
Clinical features
The symptoms are the same as those observed in non-genetic vitamin D deficiency, which usually result from a dietary calcium shortage. This leads to poor bone mineralization and eventually to skeletal deformities, pathologic fractures and delayed tooth development.
