Article Abstract
Monogenic forms of rickets are being increasingly recognized. However, vitamin D-dependent rickets 1b (VDDR1b) due to gene mutation is exceedingly rare. We report a 4.5-year-old girl and her younger sibling who presented with clinical, radiological, and biochemical features suggestive of nutritional rickets that did not resolve despite repeated therapeutic doses of vitamin D3. This led to evaluation for resistant rickets, which revealed a novel homozygous c.50_51insTCGGCGGCGC; p.Leu18ArgfsTer79 variant in the affected siblings. The children were treated with oral calcium and cholecalciferol, dose titrated to maintain serum alkaline phosphatase, 25 hydroxy vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone levels in the normal range, with good clinical and radiological response. This case highlights the importance of genetic evaluation in patients with suspected nutritional rickets who have a family history of similar illness and require higher than usual doses of vitamin D for healing or relapse on stopping treatment. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case of VDDR1b reported from Asia.

Atrichia congenita with papular lesions (APL) is a rare autosomal recessive form of alopecia with multiple keratin cysts. A 12-year-old boy with generalized alopecia who was unsuccessfully treated with multiple topical and systemic medications was brought to our department. Thorough history, examination and investigations confirmed the diagnosis of APL as the patient fulfilled the proposed criteria required to diagnose the condition.

Introduction: Vitamin D-dependent rickets type IA (VDDR1A) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by defects in the biosynthesis of its active form 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D due to mutations in the CYP27B1 gene, which encodes for 1α-hydroxylase. The present study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics, molecular genetic aetiology, and long-term outcomes of a large nationwide cohort of children with VDDR1A from Turkey.
Methods: In this multi-centre retrospective cross-sectional study, we collected clinical characteristics, laboratory features, molecular genetic analysis results, and long-term follow-up of a nationwide cohort of patients with VDDR1A using a web-based research network, CEDD-NET, for paediatric endocrinology research.

Introduction: Vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2A (VDDR2A) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder caused by pathogenic variants of the VDR gene encoding the vitamin D receptor. It has been proposed to be a form of parathyroid hormone (PTH)-dependent rickets. Here, we describe in detail a girl with VDDR2A who developed a long-standing, tertiary hyperparathyroidism that did not prevent healing of the rickets nor normalization of hypophosphatemia.

This case report is centered on an atypical presentation of Hereditary Vitamin D-dependent Rickets 2A (VDDR2A), a rare disorder caused by defects in the gene encoding the vitamin D receptor (VDR). While this disorder is primarily autosomal recessive in inheritance, this case demonstrates that a single heterozygous variant in the VDR gene could be linked to both phenotypic and laboratory manifestations of this condition. To understand the pathogenesis of this condition, one must know the typical roles of vitamin D, calcium, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) in maintaining homeostasis in the body.

Objectives: Vitamin D dependent rickets type 2A (VDD2A) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder due to mutation in vitamin D receptor () gene leading to hypocalcemia, secondary hyperparathyroidism and signs of rickets. We are reporting case series of two siblings with VDDR2A who were managed in a non-conventional manner (oral calcium and oral vitamin D) in a tertiary care hospital of resource limited country.
Case Presentation: Two male siblings presented at the age of 10 years (case 1) and 11.
