Description

Vitamin D-dependent rickets type II (VDDR II) is an autosomal recessive disorder resulting from the defective response of vitamin D receptors (VDR) in the target tissues to the active hormonal form of vitamin D. Vitamin D is important for enhancing the absorption of calcium from the small intestine and for normal bone development. VDDR II is characterized by the early onset of rickets, alopecia, hypocalcemia, hypophosphatemia, secondary hyperparathyroidism, and elevated 1,25-(OH)2D3 levels.
