This article describes a patient whose paresthesias and severe muscle cramps were attributed to panic attacks but actually were caused by hypocalcemia secondary to PPI-induced hypomagnesemia. This case serves as a reminder that PPIs should be used cautiously and appropriately with consideration for regular monitoring of electrolytes and vitamin B12.

Vitamin D-binding protein (VDBP) deficiency is a recently discovered apparently benign biochemical disorder that can masquerade as treatment-resistant vitamin D deficiency and is likely underrecognized. We present the case of a child with persistently low 25OH vitamin D levels despite replacement therapy. Exome sequencing revealed a novel homozygous nonsense variant in the GC gene, leading to undetectable levels of VDBP.
