Background: Idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia (IIH) etiologies include pathogenic variants in CYP24A1, leading to increased 1,25(OH) D, hypercalciuria and suppressed parathyroid hormone (PTH), and in SLC34A1 and SLC34A3, leading to the same metabolic profile via increased phosphaturia. IIH has not been previously described in CKD due to kidney hypodysplasia (KHD).
Methods: Retrospective study of children with bilateral KHD and simultaneously tested PTH and 1,25(OH)D, followed in a tertiary care center between 2015 and 2021.
Results: Of 295 screened patients, 139 had KHD, of them 16 (11.5%) had IIH (study group), 26 with normal PTH and any 1,25(OH)D were controls. There were no differences between groups' gender, obstructive uropathy rate and baseline eGFR. Study patients were younger [median (IQR) age: 5.2 (3.2-11.3) vs. 61 (13.9-158.3) months, p < 0.001], had higher 1,25(OH)D (259.1 ± 91.7 vs. 156.5 ± 46.4 pmol/l, p < 0.001), total calcium (11.1 ± 0.4 vs. 10.7 ± 0.3 mg/dl, p < 0.001), and lower phosphate standard deviation score (P-SDS) [median (IQR): - 1.4 (- 1.9, - 0.4) vs. - 0.3 (- 0.8, - 0.1), p = 0.03]. During 12 months of follow-up, PTH increased among the study group (8.8 ± 2.8 to 22.7 ± 12.4 pg/ml, p < 0.001), calcium decreased (11 ± 0.5 to 10.3 ± 0.6 mg/dl, p = 0.004), 1,25(OH)D decreased (259.5 ± 91.7 to 188.2 ± 42.6 pmol/l, p = 0.1), P-SDS increased [median (IQR): - 1.4 (- 1.9, - 0.4) vs. - 0.3 (- 0.9, 0.4), p = 0.04], while eGFR increased. Five of 9 study group patients with available urine calcium had hypercalciuria. Five patients had nephrocalcinosis/lithiasis. Genetic analysis for pathogenic variants in CYP24A1, SLC34A1 and SLC34A3 had not been performed.
Conclusions: Transient IIH was observed in infants with KHD, in association with hypophosphatemia, resembling SLC34A1 and SLC34A3 pathogenic variants' metabolic profile. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia (IIH) is characterized by hypercalcemia, nephrocalcinosis, vomiting, dehydration, and failure to thrive. It is caused by the presence of biallelic loss-of-function variants in the locus. Although hypercalcemia has been linked to the consumption of vitamin D-fortified milk, no reports have documented its role in triggering IIH in patients with variants.

Involvement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) has been increasingly reported, affecting up to 87% of cases. This involvement generally occurs after the diagnosis of JIA has been established; however, in the authors' cases, as in a few others documented in the literature, patients presented with isolated TMJ arthritis as the sole joint involvement. The authors performed a narrative literature review on TMJ involvement in JIA and reported 2 cases that presented with isolated TMJ arthritis as the initial manifestation of JIA.

This study aimed to discuss the pathogenic hereditary factors of children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) in Guangxi, China. We recruited 89 patients with SRNS or infantile NS from five major pediatric nephrology centers in Guangxi, and conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical data. Whole-exome sequencing analysis was also performed on all patients.
