Genotype and phenotypic spectrum of vitamin D dependent rickets type 1A: our experience and systematic review

Abstract Background Vitamin D dependent rickets type 1 (VDDR1) is a rare disease due to pathogenic variants in 1-α hydroxylase gene. We describe our experience with systematic review of world literature to describe phenotype and genotype. Methods Seven patients from six unrelated families with genetically proven VDDR1 from our cohort and 165 probands from systematic review were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical features, biochemistry, genetics, management, and long-term outcome were retrieved. Results In our cohort, the median age at presentation and diagnosis was 11(4–18) and 40(30–240) months. The delayed diagnoses were due to misdiagnoses as renal tubular acidosis and hypophosphatemic rickets. Four had hypocalcemic seizures in infancy whereas all had rickets by 2 years. All patients had biochemical response to calcitriol, however two patients diagnosed post-puberty had persistent deformity. Genetic analysis revealed two novel (p.Met260Arg, p.Arg453Leu) and a recurring variant (p.Phe443Profs*24). Systematic review showed that seizures as most common presentation in infancy, whereas delayed motor milestones and deformities after infancy. Diagnosis was delayed in 27 patients. Patients with unsatisfactory response despite compliance were >12 years at treatment initiation. Inappropriately normal 1,25(OH)2D may be present, however suppressed ratio of 1,25(OH)2 D/25(OH)D may provide a clue to diagnosis. Various region specific and hot-spot recurrent variants are described. Patients with truncating variants had higher daily calcitriol requirement and greatly suppressed ratio of 1,25(OH)2D/25(OH)D. Conclusion Delayed diagnosis may lead to permanent short stature and deformities. Truncating variants tend to have severe disease as compared to non-truncating variants. Diagnostic accuracy of 1,25(OH)2 D/25(OH)D ratio needs further validation.
