Vitamin D is present in two forms, ergocalciferol (vitamin $D_2$) produced by plants and cholecalciferol (vitamin $D_3$) produced by animal tissues or by the action of ultraviolet light on 7-dehydrocholesterol in human skin. Both forms of vitamin D are biologically inactive pro-hormones that must undergo sequential hydroxylations in the liver and the kidney before they can bind to and activate the vitamin D receptor. The hormonally active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 $[1,25(OH)_2D]$, plays an essential role in calcium and phosphate metabolism, bone growth, and cellular differentiation. Renal synthesis of $1,25(OH)_2D$ from its endogenous precursor, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD), is the rate-limiting and is catalyzed by the $1{\alpha}$-hydroxylase. Vitamin D dependent rickets type I (VDDR-I), also referred to as vitamin D $1{\alpha}$-hydroxylase deficiency or pseudovitamin D deficiency rickets, is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized clinically by hypotonia, muscle weakness, growth failure, hypocalcemic seizures in early infancy, and radiographic findings of rickets. Characteristic laboratory features are hypocalcemia, increased serum concentrations of parathyroid hormone (PTH), and low or undetectable serum concentrations of $1,25(OH)_2D$ despite normal or increased concentrations of 25OHD. Recent advances have showed in the cloning of the human $1{\alpha}$-hydroxylase and revealed mutations in its gene that cause VDDR-I. This review presents the biology of vitamin D, and $1{\alpha}$-hydroxylase mutations with clinical findings.

Vitamin D dependent rickets type 1A (VDDR1A) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in CYP27B1. Clinical findings are growth retardation, hypotonia, muscle weakness, hypocalcemic seizures, and radiological features of rickets. We aimed to present the VDDR1A case with a genetic study of CYP27B1. The 14-month-old boy was admitted to the hospital due to a seizure. Serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid hormone (PTH), 25(OH) vitamin D, and 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D values were 5.1 mg/dL, 3.7 mg/dL, 705 IU/L, 429 pg/mL, 24.9 ng/mL, and 8.8 pg/mL, respectively. Radiological study showed cupping and fraying of the distal ulna and radius. The molecular genetic study revealed that the patient had a compound heterozygous mutation, $Phe443Profs^*24$ and c.589+1G>A, in CYP27B1. Genetic analysis of the family members presented that the mother was heterozygous for the mutation c.589+1G>A, and that the father was heterozygous for $Phe443Profs^*24$. The patient was treated with calcium lactate and calcitriol. Until now, six Korean patients with VDDR1A have been studied. Including this case, Korean patients with VDDR1A were found to have only three different mutations in 14 alleles, indicating that the mutation in the CYP27B1 gene is homogeneous in the Korean population.

저인산혈증성 구루병은 구루병 중에서 보통 용량의 비타민 D 투약 치료에 반응하지 않는 형태로, 성염색체 우성 유전되며, 신세관에서 유기인의 재흡수가 감소되어 생기는 것으로 생각된다. 따라서, 저인산혈증이 특징적 소견이며, 혈청 내 알카리성 인산효소 활성이 증가되어 있고, 혈청 칼슘 농도는 보통 정상 범주에 속한다. 치과적 소견으로 특징적인 것은 임상적으로 건전한 치아에서 나타나는 다수의 자발적 치근단 농양과 농루이며, 치아의 맹출지연과 법랑질 저형성증도 관찰할 수 있다. 치과 방사선적으로는 치수각이 현저히 신장되어 있고, 때로는 상아법랑경계까지 연장되어 있으며, 치아주위 치조백선의 약화나 상실, 비정상적 치조골 소주 양상을 관찰할 수 있다. 본 환아는 저인산혈증성 구루병으로 진단되어 투약 치료 중이며, 구강검사 결과 특징적 치과소견인 다수의 자발적 치근단농양과 농루, 치수각의 현저한 신장 및 치아 맹출지연이 관찰되어 이의 구강 및 방사선 소견에 대해 보고하는 바이다.
