Abstract
The role that the Calcium Sensing Receptor (CASR) plays in extracellular calcium regulation had been ascertained through studies of inactivating as well as activating mutations of CASR gene in a number of multiplex families. We have extended these observations to a polymorphism analysis of the intercellular domain of CASR in a cohort of healthy young women. The results demonstrate significant allelic polymorphism as a result of nonconservative changes at two specific sites. Further studies will be required to determine what, if any, relationship this may have to CASR phenotype.Keywords
