Vitamin D-dependent Rickets Type II (VDDR-II) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by a vitamin D receptor gene mutation, leading to end-organ resistance to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 1,25(OH)2D. We aimed to investigate two cases of VDDR-II. Case 1 was of a 14-year old male, presenting with bone pains, bowing of legs, multiple bone deformities, and fractures since childhood. On examination, Chvostek's and Trousseau's signs were positive, and there was no alopecia. Case 2 was a 15-year old male who presented with pain in both legs since childhood and difficulty in walking lately. Upon investigation, it was found that bowing of legs, and Chvostek's and Trousseau's signs were positive. Both cases had severe hypocalcaemia, normal/low phosphate levels, and high alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Vitamin D levels were normal, and 1,25(OH) Vitamin D was very high, thus confirming the diagnosis of VDDR II. Both of the cases highlight a tremendous delay in diagnosis, resulting in severe adverse skeletal outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- Vitamin D-dependent rickets type 1A (VDDR1A) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by symptoms like growth failure, rickets, and hypocalcemia, caused by mutations in a specific gene.
- A study focused on two Mexican siblings with unusual symptoms including cafe au lait spots and grayish sclera, alongside typical VDDR1A features, leading to genetic testing that identified both a recurrent variant and a novel nonsense variant in the affected gene.
- The findings highlight the first documented case of atypical VDDR1A in this family and suggest that certain genetic mutations may influence the severity of the condition, with the younger brother showing a better response to calcitriol treatment.

Article Synopsis
- 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.
