- Vitamin D-dependent rickets type 1A is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in a specific gene, leading to reduced production of active vitamin D in the kidneys.
- A case of a 16-year-old Asian male with growth issues, bone deformities, and abnormal biochemical markers was initially misdiagnosed with pseudohypoparathyroidism due to low vitamin D and calcium and high phosphorus levels.
- Molecular testing showed he had a novel mutation associated with vitamin D-dependent rickets type 1A, and high phosphorus levels were later attributed to concurrent extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome with a variable presentation. We present a case of a 55-year-old female who presented with pain in the bilateral hip region for the last two years. On routine biochemical evaluation, she was found to have hypophosphatemia with an X-ray of the bilateral hip region showing an acute stress fracture in the bilateral intertrochanteric region of the femur.
