ABSTRACT
Infantile hypercalcemia type 1 (HCINF1), formerly known as Lightwood syndrome, is a subtype of hypercalcemia caused by loss-of-function biallelic mutations in the vitamin D catabolic enzyme, CYP24A1, which 24-hydroxylates the hormone 1,25-(OH)2D3. This short review focuses on the main features of the HCINF1 disease; emerging knowledge of the structure and function of the cytochrome P450, CYP24A1 and the location of inactivating mutations; the development of a rapid LC-MS/MS-based laboratory test for defective 24-hydroxylation; and future implications for bioanalytical assay and treatment of all types of vitamin D-related hypercalcemic conditions.
