ABSTRACT
Alopecia in hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets (HVDRR) has some correlation with severe rickets and poor overall response. However, these observations are based on small series. Hence, we aim to assess the genotypic spectrum of HVDRR and its correlation with alopecia and clinical response. Seven genetically-proven HVDDR patients from five unrelated families and 119 probands from systematic review were analysed retrospectively for phenotypic and genotypic data and overall response to therapy. In our cohort mean age at rickets onset was 12 (± 3.4) months. Alopecia was present in all patients but one. All patients had poor overall response to oral high-dose calcium and calcitriol and most required intravenous calcium. Genetic analyses revealed four novel variants. On systematic review, alopecia was present in majority (81.5%) and preceded the onset of rickets. Patients with alopecia had higher serum calcium (7.6 vs.6.9 mg/dl, p = 0.008), lower 1, 25(OH)2 D (200 vs.320 pg/ml, p = 0.03) and similar overall response to oral therapy (28.7% vs. 35.3%, p = 0.56). Alopecia was present in 51.4% of non-truncating (NT) ligand-binding domain (LBD) variants, whereas it was universal in truncating LBD and all DNA binding-domain (DBD) variants. Overall response to oral therapy was highest in LBD-NT (46.4%) as compared to 7.6% in LBD-truncating and 19% in DBD-NT variants. Among LBD-NT variants, those affecting RXR heterodimerization, but not those affecting ligand affinity, were associated with alopecia. Both alopecia and overall response have genotypic correlation. Age at diagnosis and overall response to oral therapy were similar between patients with and without alopecia in genetically proven HVDRR.
