Järvelin UM, Järvelin JM. Significance of vitamin D responsiveness on the etiology of vitamin D-related diseases. Steroids 2024; 207:109437. [PMID: 38723841 DOI: 10.1016/j.steroids.2024.109437] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024]
Abstract
Vitamin D resistance (VDRES) explains the necessity for higher doses of Vitamin D (VD) than those recommended for treatment success. VD receptor (VDR) signaling blockade, such as that caused by infections and poisons, is one basis for VDRES etiology. Mutations within genes affecting the VD system cause susceptibility to developing low VD responsiveness and autoimmunity. In contrast, VD hypersensitivity (VDHY) occurs if there is extra VD in the body; for example, as a result of an overdose of a VD supplement. Excess 1,25(OH)2D3 is produced in lymphomas and granulomatous diseases. The placenta produces excess 1,25(OH)2D3. Gene mutations regulating the production or degradation of 1,25(OH)2D3 enhance the effects of 1,25(OH)2D3. Increased 1,25(OH)2D3 levels stimulate calcium absorption in the gut, leading to hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia can result in the calcification of the kidneys, circulatory system, or placenta, leading to kidney failure, cardiovascular disease, and pregnancy complications. The primary treatment involves avoiding exposure to the sun and VD supplements. The prevalence rates of VDRES and VDHY remain unclear. One estimate was that 25%, 51%, and 24% of the patients had strong, medium, and poor responses, respectively. Heavy-dose VD therapy may be a promising method for the treatment of autoimmune diseases; however, assessing its potential side effects is essential. To avoid VD-mediated hypercalcemia, responsiveness must be considered when treating pregnancies or cardiovascular diseases associated with VD. Furthermore, how VD is associated with the related disorders remains unclear. Investigating responsiveness to VD may provide more accurate results.

Abstract
Vitamins are essential organic molecules, which are required in the diet in relatively small amounts in any form of nutrition (oral, enteral, parenteral). Despite the small amounts that are required, the vitamins are essential both for maintenance of health, growth, and treatment of disease. After reminding about the principal function of all the vitamins, their needs and the clinical consequences of their deficit, the text present some common clinical problems: the impact of inflammation on the assessment of status. The reasons and diseases which cause increased requirements are presented, with the indications to monitoring of blood levels which remain the classical way to assess status in clinical settings. The text summarises the most relevant clinical manifestations of vitamins depletion and deficiency, the difficulties in assessing status, and makes recommendations for provision for medical nutrition therapy.

Loss of 24-hydroxylated catabolism increases calcitriol and fibroblast growth factor 23 and alters calcium and phosphate metabolism in fetal mice. JBMR Plus 2024; 8:ziae012. [PMID: 38577520 PMCID: PMC10993470 DOI: 10.1093/jbmrpl/ziae012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2024] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Calcitriol circulates at low levels in normal human and rodent fetuses, in part due to increased 24-hydroxylation of calcitriol and 25-hydroxyvitamin D by 24-hydroxylase (CYP24A1). Inactivating mutations of CYP24A1 cause high postnatal levels of calcitriol and the human condition of infantile hypercalcemia type 1, but whether the fetus is disturbed by the loss of CYP24A1 is unknown. We hypothesized that loss of Cyp24a1 in fetal mice will cause high calcitriol, hypercalcemia, and increased placental calcium transport. The Cyp24a1+/- mice were mated to create pregnancies with wildtype, Cyp24a1+/-, and Cyp24a1 null fetuses. The null fetuses were hypercalcemic, modestly hypophosphatemic (compared to Cyp24a1+/- fetuses only), with 3.5-fold increased calcitriol, 4-fold increased fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), and unchanged parathyroid hormone. The quantitative RT-PCR confirmed the absence of Cyp24a1 and 2-fold increases in S100g, sodium-calcium exchanger type 1, and calcium-sensing receptor in null placentas but not in fetal kidneys; these changes predicted an increase in placental calcium transport. However, placental 45Ca and 32P transport were unchanged in null fetuses. Fetal ash weight and mineral content, placental weight, crown-rump length, and skeletal morphology did not differ among the genotypes. Serum procollagen 1 intact N-terminal propeptide and bone expression of sclerostin and Blgap were reduced while calcitonin receptor was increased in nulls. In conclusion, loss of Cyp24a1 in fetal mice causes hypercalcemia, modest hypophosphatemia, and increased FGF23, but no alteration in skeletal development. Reduced incorporation of calcium into bone may contribute to the hypercalcemia without causing a detectable decrease in the skeletal mineral content. The results predict that human fetuses bearing homozygous or compound heterozygous inactivating mutations of CYP24A1 will also be hypercalcemic in utero but with normal skeletal development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trace elements and vitamins, named together micronutrients (MNs), are essential for human metabolism. The importance of MNs in common pathologies is recognized by recent research, with deficiencies significantly impacting the outcome. OBJECTIVE This short version of the guideline aims to provide practical recommendations for clinical practice. METHODS An extensive search of the literature was conducted in the databases Medline, PubMed, Cochrane, Google Scholar, and CINAHL for the initial guideline. The search focused on physiological data, historical evidence (for papers published before PubMed release in 1996), and observational and/or randomized trials. For each MN, the main functions, optimal analytical methods, impact of inflammation, potential toxicity, and provision during enteral or parenteral nutrition were addressed. The SOP wording was applied for strength of recommendations. RESULTS The limited number of interventional trials prevented meta-analysis and led to a low level of evidence for most recommendations. The recommendations underwent a consensus process, which resulted in a percentage of agreement (%): strong consensus required of >90 % of votes. Altogether the guideline proposes 3 general recommendations and specific recommendations for the 26 MNs. Monitoring and management strategies are proposed. CONCLUSION This short version of the MN guideline should facilitate handling of the MNs in at-risk diseases, whilst offering practical advice on MN provision and monitoring during nutritional support.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bilateral reversed cortico-medullary differentiation is rarely observed on fetal or neonatal renal ultrasound and is therefore a diagnostic challenge. OBJECTIVE Our purpose was to widen the differential diagnoses of fetal and neonatal nephropathies introducing reversed cortico-medullary differentiation as a clue either on obstetric US or during follow-up of hyperechoic kidneys in order to improve the management of such rare clinical situations. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the US images of 11 patients showing bilateral reversed cortico-medullary differentiation on prenatal examination or in which this pattern developed postnatally in the follow-up of fetal hyperechoic kidneys. For each patient, a precise diagnosis was established either on clinical assessment or, when available, on histological or genetic findings. RESULTS Six fetuses displayed bilateral reversed cortico-medullary differentiation on obstetric examination, and the pattern persisted throughout pregnancy. In the five other fetuses, the kidneys appeared initially homogeneously hyperechoic; this evolved into reversed cortico-medullary differentiation during the third trimester in two cases and shortly after birth in three cases. Two pregnancies were terminated because of estimated poor prognosis. In the nine surviving neonates, four died of renal failure in the post-natal period. The clinical evolution was more favorable in the remaining five newborns. CONCLUSIONS Six different diagnoses were established in patients presenting with a reversed cortico-medullary differentiation renal pattern. This finding was associated with poor outcome in six cases. An acute prenatal diagnosis of reversed cortico-medullary differentiation improves pre- and postnatal work-up and guides counseling and genetic testing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Infantile hypercalcemia-1 (HCINF1) is a rare disease caused by pathogenic variants in the CYP24A1 gene, resulting in the inability to metabolize active vitamin D. This leads to hypercalcemia and severe complications. CONTENT On December 8th, 2022, a systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Wanfang, and CNKI using the keywords "hypercalcemia" and "CYP24A1". Data extraction included patient demographics, clinical presentation, treatment medications, and outcomes. The findings were synthesized to identify common patterns and variations among cases and to assess the efficacy of different therapies in reducing serum calcium. Our findings revealed two distinct peaks in the incidence of HCINF1 caused by CYP24A1 pathogenic variant. Kidney stones or renal calcifications were the most common clinical manifestations of the disease, followed by polyuria and developmental delay. Laboratory investigations showed hypercalcemia, elevated vitamin D levels, hypercalciuria, and low parathyroid hormone. Genetic analysis remains the only reliable diagnostic tool. Although there is no definitive cure for HCINF1, multiple drugs, including bisphosphonates, calcitonin, and rifampicin, have been used to control its symptoms. Blocking the production and intake of vitamin D is the preferred treatment option. SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK Our review highlights the basic clinical and biochemical features of HCINF1 and suggests that targeted diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are needed to address the clinical heterogeneity of the disease. The insights gained from this study may facilitate the development of innovative treatments for HCINF1.

Abstract
Idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia (IIH) is a rare genetic disease, also called hypersensitivity to vitamin D3. The molecular heterogeneity allows for the differentiation between the two forms; IIH type 1 caused by CYP24A1 genetic variants and IIH type 2 associated with SLC34A1 mutations. The affected individuals express a variety of symptoms: hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, suppressed intact parathormone levels (PTH), nephrocalcinosis, elevated levels of serum 1,25 (OH)2-vitamin D3 or inappropriately normal levels, and kidney phosphate wasting. The present paper describes three cases of IIH with heterozygous mutations in SLC34A1 and CYP24A1 genes, respectively. The genetic diagnosis is of paramount importance for proper treatment and the prediction of long-term outcomes.

Abstract
Following two requests from the European Commission (EC), the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the revision of the tolerable upper intake level (UL) for vitamin D and to propose a conversion factor (CF) for calcidiol monohydrate into vitamin D3 for labelling purposes. Vitamin D refers to ergocalciferol (vitamin D2), cholecalciferol (vitamin D3), and calcidiol monohydrate. Systematic reviews of the literature were conducted to assess the relative bioavailability of calcidiol monohydrate versus vitamin D3 on serum 25(OH)D concentrations, and for priority adverse health effects of excess vitamin D intake, namely persistent hypercalcaemia/hypercalciuria and endpoints related to musculoskeletal health (i.e. falls, bone fractures, bone mass/density and indices thereof). Based on the available evidence, the Panel proposes a CF for calcidiol monohydrates of 2.5 for labelling purposes. Persistent hypercalciuria, which may be an earlier sign of excess vitamin D than persistent hypercalcaemia, is selected as the critical endpoint on which to base the UL for vitamin D. A lowest-observed-adverse-effect-level (LOAEL) of 250 μg/day is identified from two randomised controlled trials in humans, to which an uncertainty factor of 2.5 is applied to account for the absence of a no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL). A UL of 100 μg vitamin D equivalents (VDE)/day is established for adults (including pregnant and lactating women) and for adolescents aged 11-17 years, as there is no reason to believe that adolescents in the phase of rapid bone formation and growth have a lower tolerance for vitamin D compared to adults. For children aged 1-10 years, a UL of 50 μg VDE/day is established by considering their smaller body size. Based on available intake data, European populations are unlikely to exceed the UL, except for regular users of food supplements containing high doses of vitamin D.

Pflugers Arch 2022; 474:1201-1212. [PMID: 36074191 PMCID: PMC9560988 DOI: 10.1007/s00424-022-02744-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2022] [Revised: 08/20/2022] [Accepted: 08/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Studies addressing homeostasis of inorganic phosphate (Pi) are mostly restricted to murine models. Data provided by genetically modified mice suggest that renal Pi reabsorption is primarily mediated by the Na+/Pi cotransporter NaPi-IIa/Slc34a1, whereas the contribution of NaPi-IIc/Slc34a3 in adult animals seems negligible. However, mutations in both cotransporters associate with hypophosphatemic syndromes in humans, suggesting major inter-species heterogeneity. Urinary extracellular vesicles (UEV) have been proposed as an alternative source to analyse the intrinsic expression of renal proteins in vivo. Here, we analyse in rats whether the protein abundance of renal Pi transporters in UEV correlates with their renal content. For that, we compared the abundance of NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc in paired samples from kidneys and UEV from rats fed acutely and chronically on diets with low or high Pi. In renal brush border membranes (BBM) NaPi-IIa was detected as two fragments corresponding to the full-length protein and to a proteolytic product, whereas NaPi-IIc migrated as a single full-length band. The expression of NaPi-IIa (both fragments) in BBM adapted to acute as well to chronic changes of dietary Pi, whereas adaptation of NaPi-IIc was only detected in response to chronic administration. Both transporters were detected in UEV as well. UEV reflected the renal adaptation of the NaPi-IIa proteolytic fragment (but not the full-length protein) upon chronic but not acute dietary changes, while also reproducing the chronic regulation of NaPi-IIc. Thus, the composition of UEV reflects only partially changes in the expression of NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc at the BBM triggered by dietary Pi.

St-Arnaud R, Arabian A, Kavame D, Kaufmann M, Jones G. Vitamin D and Diseases of Mineral Homeostasis: A Cyp24a1 R396W Humanized Preclinical Model of Infantile Hypercalcemia Type 1. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14153221. [PMID: 35956396 PMCID: PMC9370611 DOI: 10.3390/nu14153221] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2022] [Revised: 08/03/2022] [Accepted: 08/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Infantile hypercalcemia type 1 (HCINF1), previously known as idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia, is caused by mutations in the 25-hydroxyvitamin D 24-hydroxylase gene, CYP24A1. The R396W loss-of-function mutation in CYP24A1 is the second most frequent mutated allele observed in affected HCINF1 patients. We have introduced the site-specific R396W mutation within the murine Cyp24a1 gene in knock-in mice to generate a humanized model of HCINF1. On the C57Bl6 inbred background, homozygous mutant mice exhibited high perinatal lethality with 17% survival past weaning. This was corrected by crossbreeding to the CD1 outbred background. Mutant animals had hypercalcemia in the first week of life, developed nephrolithiasis, and had a very high 25(OH)D3 to 24,25(OH)2D3 ratio which is a diagnostic hallmark of the HCINF1 condition. Expression of the mutant Cyp24a1 allele was highly elevated while Cyp27b1 expression was abrogated. Impaired bone fracture healing was detected in CD1-R396w/w mutant animals. The augmented lethality of the C57Bl6-R396W strain suggests an influence of distinct genetic backgrounds. Our data point to the utility of unique knock-in mice to probe the physiological ramifications of CYP24A1 variants in isolation from other biological and environmental factors.

Hypercalcemia in Pregnancy Due to CYP24A1 Mutations: Case Report and Review of the Literature. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14122518. [PMID: 35745247 PMCID: PMC9229801 DOI: 10.3390/nu14122518] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2022] [Revised: 06/12/2022] [Accepted: 06/14/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Pathogenic mutations of CYP24A1 lead to an impaired catabolism of vitamin D metabolites and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of hypercalcemia with low parathyroid hormone concentrations. Diagnosis is based on a reduced 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D to 25-hydroxyvitamin D ratio and confirmed by genetic analyses. Pregnancy is associated with an upregulation of the active vitamin D hormone calcitriol and may thus particularly trigger hypercalcemia in affected patients. We present a case report and a narrative review of pregnant women with CYP24A1 mutations (13 women with 29 pregnancies) outlining the laboratory and clinical characteristics during pregnancy and postpartum and the applied treatment approaches. In general, pregnancy triggered hypercalcemia in the affected women and obstetric complications were frequently reported. Conclusions on drugs to treat hypercalcemia during pregnancy are extremely limited and do not show clear evidence of efficacy. Strictly avoiding vitamin D supplementation seems to be effective in preventing or reducing the degree of hypercalcemia. Our case of a 24-year-old woman who presented with hypercalcemia in the 24th gestational week delivered a healthy baby and hypercalcemia resolved while breastfeeding. Pathogenic mutations of CYP24A1 mutations are rare but should be considered in the context of vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trace elements and vitamins, named together micronutrients (MNs), are essential for human metabolism. Recent research has shown the importance of MNs in common pathologies, with significant deficiencies impacting the outcome. OBJECTIVE This guideline aims to provide information for daily clinical nutrition practice regarding assessment of MN status, monitoring, and prescription. It proposes a consensus terminology, since many words are used imprecisely, resulting in confusion. This is particularly true for the words "deficiency", "repletion", "complement", and "supplement". METHODS The expert group attempted to apply the 2015 standard operating procedures (SOP) for ESPEN which focuses on disease. However, this approach could not be applied due to the multiple diseases requiring clinical nutrition resulting in one text for each MN, rather than for diseases. An extensive search of the literature was conducted in the databases Medline, PubMed, Cochrane, Google Scholar, and CINAHL. The search focused on physiological data, historical evidence (published before PubMed release in 1996), and observational and/or randomized trials. For each MN, the main functions, optimal analytical methods, impact of inflammation, potential toxicity, and provision during enteral or parenteral nutrition were addressed. The SOP wording was applied for strength of recommendations. RESULTS There was a limited number of interventional trials, preventing meta-analysis and leading to a low level of evidence. The recommendations underwent a consensus process, which resulted in a percentage of agreement (%): strong consensus required of >90% of votes. Altogether the guideline proposes sets of recommendations for 26 MNs, resulting in 170 single recommendations. Critical MNs were identified with deficiencies being present in numerous acute and chronic diseases. Monitoring and management strategies are proposed. CONCLUSION This guideline should enable addressing suboptimal and deficient status of a bundle of MNs in at-risk diseases. In particular, it offers practical advice on MN provision and monitoring during nutritional support.

CYP24A1 and SLC34A1 Pathogenic Variants Are Uncommon in a Canadian Cohort of Children with Hypercalcemia or Hypercalciuria. Horm Res Paediatr 2022; 94:124-132. [PMID: 34320495 DOI: 10.1159/000517548] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2021] [Accepted: 06/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Biallelic pathogenic variants in CYPA24A1 and SLC34A1 are causes of idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia. Pathogenic variants in both may also give rise to hypercalciuria with nephrocalcinosis or nephrolithiasis without previous hypercalcemia (renal group). Our objective was to examine the frequency of CYP24A1 or SLC34A1 variants in children with early hypercalcemia or late-onset hypercalciuria. METHOD Forty-one children from 7 centers across Canada were recruited. Local investigations were undertaken. The serum was evaluated by liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry for the ratio of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 to 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, (25-OH-D3:24,25-(OH)2D3), an elevation pathognomonic for the loss of function of the CYP24A1 enzyme. Mutational analyses were undertaken. Family cascade screening was performed if pathogenic variants were detected in probands. RESULTS Twenty-nine children had early-onset hypercalcemia; none had elevated 25-OH-D3:24,25-(OH)2D3 or variants. Interestingly, 2 of 12 in the renal group had elevated 25-OH-D3:24,25-(OH)2D3 and presented as preadolescents. In case 1, cascade testing revealed a sibling and parent with asymptomatic pathogenic variants in CYP24A1. Four CYP24A1 pathogenic variants were identified in these 2 probands: 3 have been described in European populations, and 1 is a rare variant in exon 7 (c931delC) that is likely pathogenic. No SLC34A1 pathogenic variants were detected. CONCLUSION In Canada, pathogenic variants in CYP24A1 appear to manifest with late-onset hypercalciuria and its sequelae. The 25-OH-D3:24,25-(OH)2D3 ratio is an excellent tool for screening for biallelic pathogenic variants in CYP24A1. We confirm that cascade testing is important for these variants.

Identification of recurrent pathogenic alleles using exome sequencing data: Proof-of-concept study of Russian subjects. Eur J Med Genet 2022; 65:104426. [PMID: 35026467 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmg.2022.104426] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2021] [Revised: 11/03/2021] [Accepted: 01/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
Whole exome sequencing (WES) is a powerful tool for the cataloguing of population-specific genetic diseases. Within this proof-of-concept study we evaluated whether analysis of a small number of individual exomes is capable of identifying recurrent pathogenic alleles. We considered 106 exomes of subjects of Russian origin and revealed 13 genetic variants, which occurred more than twice and fulfilled the criteria for pathogenicity. All these alleles turned out to be indeed recurrent, as revealed by the analysis of 1045 healthy Russian donors. Eight of these variants (NAGA c.973G > A, ACADM c.985 A > C, MPO c.2031-2 A > C, SLC3A1 c.1400 T > C, LRP2 c.6160G > A, BCHE c.293 A > G, MPO c.752 T > C, FCN3 c.349delC) are non-Russian-specific, as their high prevalence was previously demonstrated in other European populations. The remaining five disease-associated alleles appear to be characteristic for subjects of Russian origin and include CLCN1 c.2680C > T (myotonia congenita), DHCR7 c.453G > A (Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome), NUP93 c.1162C > T (steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome, type 12), SLC26A2 c.1957T > A (multiple epiphyseal dysplasia) and EIF3F c.694 T > G (mental retardation). These recessive disease conditions may be of particular relevance for the Russian Federation and other countries with significant Slavic population.

Abstract
The improper maintenance of the bioactivated form of vitamin-D (1α,25(OH)2D) may result in vitamin-D insufficiency and therefore compromise the absorption of dietary calcium. A significant regulator of vitamin-D metabolism is the inactivating function of the mitochondrial enzyme cytochrome P450 24A1 (CYP24A1). In humans, CYP24A1 carries out hydroxylation of carbon-23 (C23) or carbon-24 (C24) of the 1α,25(OH)2D side chain, eventually resulting in production of either an antagonist of the vitamin-D receptor (C23 pathway) or calcitroic acid (C24 pathway). Despite its importance to human health, the human isoform (hCYP24A1) remains largely uncharacterized due in part to the difficulty in producing the enzyme using recombinant means. In this study, we utilize a cleavable fusion with the cognate redox partner, human Adx (hAdx), to stabilize hCYP24A1 during production. The subsequent cleavage and isolation of active hCYP24A1 allowed for an investigation of substrate and analog binding, enzymatic activity, and redox partner recognition. We demonstrate involvement of a nonpolar contact involving Leu-80 of hAdx and a nonconserved proximal surface of hCYP24A1. Interestingly, shortening the length of this residue (L80V) results in enhanced binding between the CYP-Adx complex and 1α,25(OH)2D yet unexpectedly results in decreased catalysis. The same mutation has a negligible effect on rat CYP24A1 (a C24-hydroxylase), indicating the presence of a species-specific requirement that may correlate with differences in regioselectivity of the reaction. Taken together, this work presents an example of production of a challenging human CYP as well as providing details regarding hydrophobic modulation of a CYP-Adx complex that is critical to human vitamin-D metabolism.

Abstract
Vitamin D metabolism represents a well-integrated, hormonally regulated endocrine unit interlinking calcium and phosphate metabolism. Pathophysiologic processes disturbing vitamin D metabolism comprise classic defects of vitamin D activation and action presenting as different forms of vitamin D-dependent rickets as well as disorders with increased vitamin D activity. The latter may result in hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, and renal calcifications. Acquired and hereditary disorders causing hypervitaminosis D are discussed, including vitamin D intoxication, granulomatous disease, and idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia that may be caused by either a defective vitamin D degradation or by a primary defect in phosphate conservation.

Abstract
Background Infantile hypercalcaemia (IH) is a vitamin D3 metabolism disorder. The molecular basis for IH is biallelic mutations in the CYP24A1 or SLC34A1 gene. These changes lead to catabolism disorders (CYP24A1 mutations) or excessive generation of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] (SLC34A1 mutations). The incidence rate of IH in children and the risk level for developing end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are still unknown. The aim of this study was to analyse the long-term outcome of adolescents and young adults who suffered from IH in infancy. Design Forty-two children (23 girls; average age 10.7 ± 6.3 years) and 26 adults (14 women; average age 24.2 ± 4.4 years) with a personal history of hypercalcaemia with elevated 1,25(OH)2D3 levels were included in the analysis. In all patients, a genetic analysis of possible IH mutations was conducted, as well as laboratory tests and renal ultrasonography. Results IH was confirmed in 20 studied patients (10 females). CYP24A1 mutations were found in 16 patients (8 females) and SLC34A1 in 4 patients (2 females). The long-term outcome was assessed in 18 patients with an average age of 23.8 years (age range 2–34). The average glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was 72 mL/min/1.73 m2 (range 15–105). Two patients with a CYP24A1 mutation developed ESRD and underwent renal transplantation. A GFR <90 mL/min/1.73 m2 was found in 14 patients (77%), whereas a GFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 was seen in 5 patients (28%), including 2 adults after renal transplantation. Three of 18 patients still had serum calcium levels >2.6 mmol/L. A renal ultrasound revealed nephrocalcinosis in 16 of 18 (88%) patients, however, mild hypercalciuria was detected in only one subject. Conclusions Subjects who suffered from IH have a greater risk of progressive chronic kidney disease and nephrocalcinosis. This indicates that all survivors of IH should be closely monitored, with early implementation of preventive measures, e.g. inhibition of active metabolites of vitamin D3 synthesis.

Abstract
Context CYP24A1 encodes 24-hydroxylase, which converts 25(OH)D3 and 1,25(OH)2D3 to inactive metabolites. Loss-of-function variants in CYP24A1 are associated with 24-hydroxylase deficiency (24HD), characterized by hypercalcemia, nephrolithiasis, and nephrocalcinosis. We retrospectively reviewed laboratory, imaging, and clinical characteristics of patients with suspected or confirmed 24HD and patients with other vitamin D−mediated hypercalcemia disorders: sarcoidosis, lymphoma, and exogenous vitamin D toxicity (EVT). Objective To identify features that differentiate 24HD from other vitamin D-mediated hypercalcemia disorders. Methods Patients seen at the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN) from January 1, 2008, to 31 December, 2016, with the following criteria were retrospectively identified: serum calcium ≥9.6 mg/dL, parathyroid hormone <30 pg/mL, and 1,25(OH)2D3 >40 pg/mL. Patients were considered to have 24HD if they had (1) confirmed CYP24A1 gene variant or (2) 25(OH)D3:24,25(OH)2D ratio ≥50. Patients with sarcoidosis, lymphoma, and EVT were also identified. Groups were compared using the Fisher exact test (categorical variables) or the Wilcoxon rank sum test (continuous variables). Results We identified 9 patients with 24HD and 28 with other vitamin D−mediated disorders. Patients with 24HD were younger at symptom onset (median 14 vs 63 years; P = .001) and had positive family history (88.9% vs 20.8%; P < .001), nephrocalcinosis (88.9% vs 6.3%; P < .001), lower lumbar spine Z-scores (median −0.50 vs 1.20; P = .01), higher peak serum phosphorus (% of peak reference range, median 107 vs 84; P = .01), and higher urinary calcium:creatinine ratios (median 0.24 vs 0.17; P = .047). Conclusion Patients with 24HD had clinical and laboratory findings that differed from other vitamin D−mediated hypercalcemia disorders. 24HD should be suspected in patients with hypercalcemia who present at younger age, have positive family history, and have nephrocalcinosis.

Elucidation of metabolic pathways of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 mediated by CYP24A1 and CYP3A using Cyp24a1 knockout rats generated by CRISPR/Cas9 system. J Biol Chem 2021; 296:100668. [PMID: 33865853 PMCID: PMC8134072 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2021.100668] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2020] [Revised: 02/25/2021] [Accepted: 04/13/2021] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
CYP24A1-deficient (Cyp24a1 KO) rats were generated using the CRISPER/Cas9 system to investigate CYP24A1-dependent or -independent metabolism of 25(OH)D3, the prohormone of calcitriol. Plasma 25(OH)D3 concentrations in Cyp24a1 KO rats were approximately twofold higher than in wild-type rats. Wild-type rats showed five metabolites of 25(OH)D3 in plasma following oral administration of 25(OH)D3, and these metabolites were not detected in Cyp24a1 KO rats. Among these metabolites, 25(OH)D3-26,23-lactone was identified as the second major metabolite with a significantly higher Tmax value than others. When 23S,25(OH)2D3 was administered to Cyp24a1 KO rats, neither 23,25,26(OH)3D3 nor 25(OH)D3-26,23-lactone was observed. However, when 23S,25R,26(OH)3D3 was administered to Cyp24a1 KO rats, plasma 25(OH)D3-26,23-lactone was detected. These results suggested that CYP24A1 is responsible for the conversion of 25(OH)D3 to 23,25,26(OH)3D3 via 23,25(OH)2D3, but enzyme(s) other than CYP24A1 may be involved in the conversion of 23,25,26(OH)3D3 to 25(OH)D3-26,23-lactone. Enzymatic studies using recombinant human CYP species and the inhibitory effects of ketoconazole suggested that CYP3A plays an essential role in the conversion of 23,25,26(OH)3D3 into 25(OH)D3-26,23-lactone in both rats and humans. Taken together, our data indicate that Cyp24a1 KO rats are valuable for metabolic studies of vitamin D and its analogs. In addition, long-term administration of 25(OH)D3 to Cyp24a1 KO rats at 110 μg/kg body weight/day resulted in significant weight loss and ectopic calcification. Thus, Cyp24a1 KO rats could represent an important model for studying renal diseases originating from CYP24A1 dysfunction.

Analysis of vitamin D 3 metabolites in survivors of infantile idiopathic hypercalcemia caused by CYP24A1 mutation or SLC34A1 mutation. J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol 2021; 208:105824. [PMID: 33516786 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsbmb.2021.105824] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2020] [Revised: 12/06/2020] [Accepted: 01/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
UNLABELLED Infantile hypercalcemia (IH), is a rare disorder caused by CYP24A1 or SLC34A1 variants which lead to disturbed catabolism of 25(OH)D3 and 125(OH)2D3 or increased generation of 125(OH)2D3. AIM OF STUDY To assess the status of 2425(OH)2D3 and other markers of vitamin D in IH survivors, in whom variants of CYP24A1 or SLC34A1 gene were found and to compare these unique biochemical features with those obtained from subjects who were diagnosed in the first year of life with hypercalcemia, elevated 25(OH)D3 and low PTH but in whom neither CYP24A1 nor SLC34A1 variant was found. PATIENTS AND METHODS 16 IH survivors in whom CYP24A1 (n = 13) or SLC34A1 (n = 3) variants were found and 41 subjects in whom hypercalcemia was diagnosed in the first year of life but in whom CYP24A1 or SLC34A1 variants were not found were included in the study. 25(OH)D3, 3-epi-25(OH)D3, 25(OH)D2, 2425(OH)2D3 were assessed by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. 125(OH)2D3 concentrations were assessed by chemiluminescence. RESULTS Subjects with CYP24A1 variants, despite normal 25(OH)D3 levels, had higher 25(OH)D3/2425(OH)2D3 ratio values (487; 265-1073 ng/mL) when compared to subjects with SLC34A1 variants (16; 16-23 ng/mL) and with subjects in whom CYP24A1 or SLC34A1 were not found (56; 9-56 ng/mL) (p = 0.00003). Separation of interfering metabolite further increased differences between subjects with and without CYP24A1 mutation. CONCLUSIONS Survivors of IH with CYP24A1 variant, despite being normocalcemic, still presented extremely high 25(OH)D3/2425(OH)2D3 ratio values. Separation of interfering compound further increased differences between subjects with CYP24A1 mutation and without this mutation.

Abstract
Mutations in CYP24A1 (vitamin D 24-hydroxylase) and SLC34A1 (renal phosphate transporter NPT2a) cause autosomal recessive Infantile Hypercalcemia type 1 and 2, illustrating links between vitamin D and phosphate metabolism. Patients may present with hypercalciuria and alternate between chronic phases with normal serum calcium but inappropriately high 1,25-(OH)2D and appropriately low PTH, and acute phases with hypercalcemia with suppressed PTH. Mutations in SLC34A3 and SLC9A3R1 have been associated with phosphate wasting without hypercalcemia. The aims of this study were to evaluate the frequency of mutations in these genes in patients with a medical history suggestive of CYP24A1 mutation to search for a specific pattern. Using next generation sequencing, we screened for mutations in 185 patients with PTH levels < 20 pg/mL, hypercalcemia and/or hypercalciuria, and relatives. Twenty-eight (15%) patients harbored biallelic mutations in CYP24A1 (25) and SLC34A3 (3), mostly associated with renal disease (lithiasis, nephrocalcinosis) (86%). Hypophosphatemia was found in 7 patients with biallelic mutations in CYP24A1 and a normal phosphatemia was reported in 2 patients with biallelic mutations in SLC34A3. Rare variations in SLC34A1 and SLC34A3 were mostly of uncertain significance. Fifteen patients (8%) carried only one heterozygous mutation. Heterozygous relatives carrying SLC34A1 or SLC34A3 variation may present with biochemical changes in mineral metabolism. Two patients' genotype may suggest digenism (heterozygous variations in different genes). No variation was found in SLC9A3R1. As no specific pattern can be found, patients with medical history suggestive of CYP24A1 mutation should benefit from SLC34A1 and SLC34A3 analysis.

Abstract
The various forms of Fanconi renotubular syndromes (FRTS) offer significant challenges for clinicians and present unique opportunities for scientists who study proximal tubule physiology. This review will describe the clinical characteristics, genetic underpinnings, and underlying pathophysiology of the major forms of FRST. Although the classic forms of FRTS will be presented (e.g., Dent disease or Lowe syndrome), particular attention will be paid to five of the most recently discovered FRTS subtypes caused by mutations in the genes encoding for L-arginine:glycine amidinotransferase (GATM), solute carrier family 34 (type Ii sodium/phosphate cotransporter), member 1 (SLC34A1), enoyl-CoAhydratase/3-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase (EHHADH), hepatocyte nuclear factor 4A (HNF4A), or NADH dehydrogenase complex I, assembly factor 6 (NDUFAF6). We will explore how mutations in these genes revealed unexpected mechanisms that led to compromised proximal tubule functions. We will also describe the inherent challenges associated with gene discovery studies based on findings derived from small, single-family studies by focusing the story of FRTS type 2 (SLC34A1). Finally, we will explain how extensive alternative splicing of HNF4A has resulted in confusion with mutation nomenclature for FRTS type 4.

Abstract
Vitamin D plays an important role in calcium homeostasis and bone mineralization. Inefficient inactivation of vitamin D leads to a condition called idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia (IIH). In the last decade mutations in CYP24A1, the gene responsible for vitamin D inactivation, were described as the main molecular cause of IIH. In this study, we present a family with two daughters diagnosed with IIH due to two different mutations in CYP24A1 gene. Based on next-generation sequencing (NGS), the elder daughter was diagnosed as carrying the mutations CYP24A1: c.1186C > T; (p.Arg396Trp) and c.428_430del; (p.Glu143del). Within this context, we were able to presymptomatically diagnose her newborn sister using Sanger sequencing technique. Screening for CYP24A1 mutations in families with IIH history helps preventing disease manifestations in newborn siblings. Thus, NGS combined with Sanger sequencing validation opens up the perspective of preventive medicine with great impact on IIH management, where stopping vitamin D administration is enough to prevent disease manifestation, in most cases.

Simultaneous determination of 24,25- and 25,26-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in serum samples with liquid-chromatography mass spectrometry - A useful tool for the assessment of vitamin D metabolism. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2020; 1158:122394. [PMID: 33091679 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2020.122394] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2020] [Revised: 09/06/2020] [Accepted: 09/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Vitamin D status is typically assessed by the measurement of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D). However, in selected patient groups the sole determination of 25(OH)D has been proven insufficient for this purpose. The simultaneous measurement of additional vitamin D metabolites may provide useful information for a better evaluation of the vitamin D status. Therefore, we developed and validated a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous determination of 25(OH)D3, 25(OH)D2, 24,25(OH)2D3 and additionally 25,26(OH)2D3, which was identified with a synthesized pure substance. Pure and deuterated substances were used to prepare calibrators and internal standards for all target metabolites. Pre-analytical sample preparation comprised protein precipitation followed by liquid-liquid-extraction and derivatization with 4-Phenyl-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-dione (PTAD) using 50 µL sample volume. Samples were analyzed on an Agilent HPLC 1260 system equipped with a silica-based Kinetex® 5 µm F5 100 Å core-shell column (150 × 4.6 mm) coupled to a Sciex 4500 mass spectrometer. For all four metabolites, limit of detection (LoD) and limit of quantification (LoQ) ranged from 0.3 to 1.5 nmol/L and 1.0 to 3.1 nmol/L, respectively. Recovery varied between 76.1 % and 84.3 %. Intra- and inter-assay imprecision were <8.6 % and <11.5 %, respectively. The analysis of external and internal quality control samples showed good accuracy for 25(OH)D3, 25(OH)D2, 24(R),25(OH)2D3 and 25,26(OH)2D3. Method comparison studies with human samples that were also analyzed with two other LC-MS/MS methods showed close agreement. Finally, the present method has been shown capable of identifying patients with 24-hydroxylase deficiency, which proves its clinical utility.

Abstract
Loss of function mutations in the CYP24A1 gene, involved in vitamin D catabolism and in calcium homeostasis, are known to be the genetic drivers of both idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia (IIH) and adult renal stone disease. Recently, also defects in the SLC34A1 gene, encoding for the renal sodium-phosphate transporter NaPi-IIa, were associated with the disease. IIH typically affects infants and pediatric patients with a syndrome characterized by severe hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, suppressed parathyroid hormone level and nephrolithiasis. In SLC34A1 mutated carriers, hypophosphatemia is also a typical biochemical tract. IIH may also persist undiagnosed into adulthood, causing an increased risk of nephrocalcinosis and renal complication. To note, a clinical heterogeneity characterizes IIH manifestation, principally due to the controversial gene-dose effect and, to the strong influence of environmental factors. The present review is aimed to provide an overview of the current molecular findings on the IIH disorder, giving a comprehensive description of the association between genotype and biochemical and clinical phenotype of the affected patients. We also underline that patients may benefit from genetic testing into a targeted diagnostic and therapeutic workflow.

Abstract
Vitamin D plays a role not only in the proper functioning of the skeletal system and the calcium-phosphate equilibrium, but also in the immune system, the cardiovascular system and the growth and division of cells. Although numerous studies have reported on the analysis of vitamin D status in various groups of patients, the clinical significance of measurements of vitamin D forms and metabolites remains ambiguous. This article reviews the reports analyzing the status of vitamin D in various chronic states. Particular attention is given to factors affecting measurement of vitamin D forms and metabolites. Relevant papers published during recent years were identified by an extensive PubMed search using appropriate keywords. Measurement of vitamin D status proved to be a useful tool in diagnosis and progression of metabolic syndrome, neurological disorders and cancer. High performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry has become the preferred method for analyzing the various forms and metabolites of vitamin D in biological fluids. Factors influencing vitamin D concentration, including socio-demographic and biochemical factors as well as the genetic polymorphism of the vitamin D receptor, along with vitamin D transporters and enzymes participating in vitamin D metabolism should be considered as potential confounders of the interpretation of plasma total 25(OH)D concentrations.

Abstract
Objectives Both CYP24A1 and SLC34A1 gene mutations are responsible for idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia, whereas loss-of-function mutations in CYP24A1 (25-OH-vitamin D-24-hydroxylase) lead to a defect in the inactivation of active 1.25(OH)2D; mutations in SLC34A1 encoding renal sodium phosphate cotransporter NaPi-IIa lead to primary renal phosphate wasting combined with an inappropriate activation of vitamin D. The presence of mutations in both genes has not been reported in the same patient until today. Case presentation Hypercalcemia was incidentally detected when a 13-month-old boy was being examined for urinary tract infection. After 21 months, hypercalcemia was detected in his six-month-old sister. High dose of vitamin D was not given to both siblings. Both of them also had hypophosphatemia and decreased tubular phosphate reabsorption. Intensive hydration, furosemide and oral phosphorus treatment were given. Bilateral medullary nephrocalcinosis was detected in both siblings and their father. Serum Ca and P levels were within normal limits at follow-up in both siblings. Siblings and their parents all carry a homozygous stop codon mutation (p.R466*) in CYP24A1. Interestingly, both siblings and the father also have a heterozygous splice-site mutation (IVS6(+1)G>A) in SLC34A1. The father has nephrocalcinosis. Conclusions A biallelic loss-of-function mutation in the CYP24A1 gene was identified as responsible for hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis. In addition, a heterozygous mutation in the SLC34A1 gene, although not being the main pathogenic factor, might contribute to the severe phenotype of both patients.

Abstract
Phosphate is an essential nutrient for life and is a critical component of bone formation, a major signaling molecule, and structural component of cell walls. Phosphate is also a component of high-energy compounds (i.e., AMP, ADP, and ATP) and essential for nucleic acid helical structure (i.e., RNA and DNA). Phosphate plays a central role in the process of mineralization, normal serum levels being associated with appropriate bone mineralization, while high and low serum levels are associated with soft tissue calcification. The serum concentration of phosphate and the total body content of phosphate are highly regulated, a process that is accomplished by the coordinated effort of two families of sodium-dependent transporter proteins. The three isoforms of the SLC34 family (SLC34A1-A3) show very restricted tissue expression and regulate intestinal absorption and renal excretion of phosphate. SLC34A2 also regulates the phosphate concentration in multiple lumen fluids including milk, saliva, pancreatic fluid, and surfactant. Both isoforms of the SLC20 family exhibit ubiquitous expression (with some variation as to which one or both are expressed), are regulated by ambient phosphate, and likely serve the phosphate needs of the individual cell. These proteins exhibit similarities to phosphate transporters in nonmammalian organisms. The proteins are nonredundant as mutations in each yield unique clinical presentations. Further research is essential to understand the function, regulation, and coordination of the various phosphate transporters, both the ones described in this review and the phosphate transporters involved in intracellular transport.

Abstract
PURPOSE Practical guidelines help clinicians make their preventive and therapeutic choices and improve care management. Our purpose was to collect and synthesize available recommendations concerning vitamin D in adolescents (aged 10-19 years). METHODS We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases from inception to February 5, 2019, for guidance published by different professional associations and governments. We also searched the reference lists of identified recommendations and explored the gray literature using Web search engines. We organized documents by theme: dietary requirements, thresholds, prophylactic supplementation, and treatment of deficiency. RESULTS A total of 32 documents were identified. Most of them targeted the general population and not specifically the age group of adolescents. There is a general agreement that adolescents should not have serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations below 25-30 nmol/L to avoid poor bone health. However, there is lack of consensus on the optimal concentration to aim for, levels varying between 25 nmol/L and 150 nmol/L. Adequate nutritional requirements of vitamin D are also subject to debate with values ranging between 200 IU/d and 1,000 IU/d. The upper tolerable intake is estimated at 4,000 IU/d by all study groups. Certain associations recommend routine vitamin D supplementation in adolescents. The recommended daily preventive doses vary between 400 IU and 4,000 IU, depending on season, skin pigmentation, sun exposure, consumption of vitamin D-fortified foods, body mass index, and coexistence of certain medical conditions. In case of deficiency, different therapeutic regimens of oral vitamin D are proposed depending on the presence of illness and/or the baseline serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations. Duration of the treatment varies between 4 weeks and 3 months. A maintenance dose is generally recommended after treatment. CONCLUSIONS At present, there is no consensus among the different societies about vitamin D needs during adolescence. Stronger, evidence-based guidance is needed to inform clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Prevalence of pediatric urolithiasis is increasing, which is definitively visible in increasing numbers of presentations in emergency or outpatient clinics. In pediatric patients, a genetic or metabolic disease has to be excluded, so that adequate treatment can be installed as early as possible. Only then either recurrent stone events and chronic or even end-stage kidney disease can be prevented. RECENT FINDINGS The genetic background of mostly monogenic kidney stone diseases was unravelled recently. In hypercalcuria, for example, the commonly used definition of idiopathic hypercalciuria was adopted to the genetic background, here three autosomal recessive hereditary forms of CYP24A1, SLC34A1 and SLC34A3 associated nephrocalcinosis/urolithiasis with elevated 1.25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 (1.25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3) (calcitriol) levels. In addition either activating or inactivating mutations of the calcium-sensing receptor gene lead either to hypocalcemic hypercalciuria or hypercalcemic hypocalciuria. In primary hyperoxaluria, a third gene defect was unravelled explaining most of the so far unclassified patients. In addition, these findings lead to new treatment options, which are currently evaluated in phase III studies. SUMMARY Kidney stones are not the disease itself, but only its first symptom. The underlying disease has to be diagnosed in every pediatric patient with the first stone event.

Abstract
Electrolyte homeostasis is maintained by the kidney through a complex transport function mostly performed by specialized proteins distributed along the renal tubules. Pathogenic variants in the genes encoding these proteins impair this function and have consequences on the whole organism. Establishing a genetic diagnosis in patients with renal tubular dysfunction is a challenging task given the genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity, functional characteristics of the genes involved and the number of yet unknown causes. Part of these difficulties can be overcome by gathering large patient cohorts and applying high-throughput sequencing techniques combined with experimental work to prove functional impact. This approach has led to the identification of a number of genes but also generated controversies about proper interpretation of variants. In this article, we will highlight these challenges and controversies.

Abstract
Over the past 25 years, successive cloning of SLC34A1, SLC34A2 and SLC34A3, which encode the sodium-dependent inorganic phosphate (Pi) cotransport proteins 2a-2c, has facilitated the identification of molecular mechanisms that underlie the regulation of renal and intestinal Pi transport. Pi and various hormones, including parathyroid hormone and phosphatonins, such as fibroblast growth factor 23, regulate the activity of these Pi transporters through transcriptional, translational and post-translational mechanisms involving interactions with PDZ domain-containing proteins, lipid microdomains and acute trafficking of the transporters via endocytosis and exocytosis. In humans and rodents, mutations in any of the three transporters lead to dysregulation of epithelial Pi transport with effects on serum Pi levels and can cause cardiovascular and musculoskeletal damage, illustrating the importance of these transporters in the maintenance of local and systemic Pi homeostasis. Functional and structural studies have provided insights into the mechanism by which these proteins transport Pi, whereas in vivo and ex vivo cell culture studies have identified several small molecules that can modify their transport function. These small molecules represent potential new drugs to help maintain Pi homeostasis in patients with chronic kidney disease - a condition that is associated with hyperphosphataemia and severe cardiovascular and skeletal consequences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Under physiological conditions, proximal tubular phosphate reabsorption via NaPi-IIa (and NaPi-IIc) ensures the maintenance of phosphate homeostasis. Impairment of NaPi-IIa, encoded by SLC34A1, is associated with various overlapping clinical syndromes, including hypophosphatemic nephrolithiasis with osteoporosis, renal Fanconi's syndrome with chronic kidney disease, and idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia and nephrocalcinosis. METHODS A patient was referred to our hospital due to hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, and hypophosphatemia, as well as persistent hypercalcemia after fluid therapy and sodium replacement. At admission to our hospital, potassium and sodium values were normal. After initiation of phosphorus therapy, hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis were observed. Renal sonography showed bilateral medullary nephrocalcinosis. Analyses of the SLC34A1 gene were performed due to hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia. RESULTS Gene analyses identified a novel homozygous c.682T>C (p.W228R) (p.Trp228Arg) mutation. There are no previous reports of patients with SLC34A1 gene mutations presenting with hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis. CONCLUSION Herein, we present a case of infantile hypercalcemia 2 with a very different phenotype from that of previously described patients. Our findings provide further evidence for the wide range of phenotypic heterogeneity associated with NaPi-IIa impairment.

Abstract
RATIONALE Currently, the relationship between heterozygous mutations in SLC34A1 and hypophosphatemia is controversial. Here we report an autosomal dominant hypophosphatemia pedigree carrying a novel heterozygous mutation in SLC34A1. PATIENT CONCERNS The proband is a 32-year old young man, presented with progressive pain and weakness in his lower extremities for more than 5 years. The proband showed persistent hypophosphatemia and low TmPO4/GFR values, indicating renal phosphate leak. His grandfather, father, and one of his uncles showed the similar symptoms. DIAGNOSES Autosomal dominant hypophosphatemia. INTERVENTIONS AND OUTCOMES Phosphorus supplement was prescribed to the proband and his affected uncle. Both their serum phosphorus levels recovered to normal and their symptoms such as back pain and lower extremity weakness were completely relieved. Whole exome sequencing was performed to identify disease-causing mutations in proband. LESSONS A novel heterozygous missense mutation c.680A>G (p. N227S) in exon 7 of SLC34A1 was found in proband by whole exome sequencing, which was also found in other 4 family members of this pedigree. Our report of an autosomal dominant hypophosphatemia pedigree with 5 mutant carriers enriches the clinical phenotype caused by the SLC34A1 mutations and further affirms the heterozygous mutations are causative for hypophosphatemia.

Abstract
Renal phosphate handling critically determines plasma phosphate and whole body phosphate levels. Filtered phosphate is mostly reabsorbed by Na+-dependent phosphate transporters located in the brush border membrane of the proximal tubule: NaPi-IIa (SLC34A1), NaPi-IIc (SLC34A3), and Pit-2 (SLC20A2). Here we review new evidence for the role and relevance of these transporters in inherited disorders of renal phosphate handling. The importance of NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc for renal phosphate reabsorption and mineral homeostasis has been highlighted by the identification of mutations in these transporters in a subset of patients with infantile idiopathic hypercalcemia and patients with hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria. Both diseases are characterized by disturbed calcium homeostasis secondary to elevated 1,25-(OH)2 vitamin D3 as a consequence of hypophosphatemia. In vitro analysis of mutated NaPi-IIa or NaPi-IIc transporters suggests defective trafficking underlying disease in most cases. Monoallelic pathogenic mutations in both SLC34A1 and SLC34A3 appear to be very frequent in the general population and have been associated with kidney stones. Consistent with these findings, results from genome-wide association studies indicate that variants in SLC34A1 are associated with a higher risk to develop kidney stones and chronic kidney disease, but underlying mechanisms have not been addressed to date.

Abstract
PURPOSE For the prevention of nutritional rickets, 400 IU vitamin D daily and circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) concentrations > 50 nmol/L are recommended, whereas the toxicity threshold is set at 250 nmol/L. We synthesized the evidence for the effect of vitamin D supplementation on incremental 25OHD in infants up to 1 year of age. METHODS We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of intervention trials in several databases. A total of 87 records were identified for full-text review and 27 articles with 61 studies were included in the final analysis. RESULTS The selected 61 studies included 1828 participants. Nineteen cohorts had already mean baseline 25OHD levels ≥ 50 nmol/L. The weighted mean difference in 25OHD following vitamin D supplementation was + 49.4 nmol/L (95% CI 43.6-55.3 nmol/L; P < 0.001). The increment was dose-dependent (P = 0.002), was higher in full-term than in pre-term infants (P < 0.001), was higher in infants with baseline 25OHD < 50 nmol/L as compared to ≥ 50 nmol/L (P = 0.001), and was marginally influenced by the 25OHD test procedure (P = 0.080). Vitamin D3 doses of 400 IU/day were sufficient to achieve 25OHD concentrations ≥ 50 nmol/L in most full-term infants. A 25OHD level of 250 nmol/L was not exceeded in ≥ 97.5% of infants at doses between 200 and 1200 IU/day, but potentially in ≥ 2.5% of infants at a dose of 1600 IU/day. CONCLUSIONS Vitamin D supplementation of 400 IU/day is sufficient for achieving 25OHD concentrations able to prevent nutritional rickets. A more personalized vitamin D dosing strategy would require 25OHD testing, but also assay standardization.

Abstract
Calcium kidney stones are common worldwide. Most are idiopathic and composed of calcium oxalate. Calcium phosphate is present in around 80% and may initiate stone formation. Stone production is multifactorial with a polygenic genetic contribution. Phosphaturia is found frequently among stone formers but until recently received scant attention. This review examines possible mechanisms for the phosphaturia and its relevance to stone formation from a wide angle. There is a striking lack of clinical data. Phosphaturia is associated, but not correlated, with hypercalciuria, increased 1,25 dihydroxy-vitamin D [1,25 (OH)2D], and sometimes evidence of disturbances in proximal renal tubular function. Phosphate reabsorption in the proximal renal tubules requires tightly regulated interaction of many proteins. Paracellular flow through intercellular tight junctions is the major route of phosphate absorption from the intestine and can be reduced therapeutically in hyperphosphatemic patients. In monogenic defects stones develop when phosphaturia is associated with hypercalciuria, generally explained by increased 1,25 (OH)2D production in response to hypophosphatemia. Calcification does not occur in disorders with increased FGF23 when phosphaturia occurs in isolation and 1,25 (OH)2D is suppressed. Candidate gene studies have identified mutations in the phosphate transporters, but in few individuals. One genome-wide study identified a polymorphism of the phosphate transporter gene SLC34A4 associated with stones. Others did not find mutations obviously linked to phosphate reabsorption. Future genetic studies should have a wide trawl and should focus initially on groups of patients with clearly defined phenotypes. The global data should be pooled.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prenatal diagnosis of hyperechogenic kidneys is associated with a wide range of etiologies and prognoses. The recent advances in fetal ultrasound associated with the development of next-generation sequencing for molecular analysis have enlarged the spectrum of etiologies, making antenatal diagnosis a very challenging discipline. Of the various known causes of hyperechogenic fetal kidneys, calcium and phosphate metabolism disorders represent a rare cause. An accurate diagnosis is crucial for providing appropriate genetic counseling and medical follow-up after birth. METHODS We report on three cases of fetal hyperechogenic kidneys corresponding to postnatal diagnosis of nephrocalcinosis. In all cases, antenatal ultrasound showed hyperechogenic kidneys of normal to large size from 22 gestational weeks, with a normal amount of amniotic fluid. Postnatal ultrasound follow-up showed nephrocalcinosis associated with hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, elevated 1,25(OH)2-vitamin D, and suppressed parathyroid hormone levels. RESULTS Molecular genetic analysis by next-generation sequencing performed after birth in the three newborns revealed biallelic pathogenic variants in the SLC34A1 gene, encoding the sodium/phosphate cotransporter type 2 (Npt2a), confirming the diagnosis of infantile hypercalcemia. CONCLUSIONS Nephrocalcinosis due to infantile hypercalcemia can be a cause of fetal hyperechogenic kidneys, which suggests early antenatal anomaly of calcium and phosphate metabolism. This entity should be considered in differential diagnosis. Postnatal follow-up of infants with hyperechogenic kidneys should include evaluation of calcium and phosphate metabolism.

The solute carrier 34 (SLC34) family of membrane transporters is a major contributor to Pi homeostasis. Many factors are involved in regulating the SLC34 family. The roles of the bone mineral metabolism factors parathyroid hormone (PTH) and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in Pi homeostasis are well studied. Intracellular Pi is thought to be involved in energy metabolism, such as ATP production. Under certain conditions of altered energy metabolism, plasma Pi concentrations are affected by the regulation of a Pi shift into cells or release from the tissues. We recently investigated the mechanism of hepatectomy-related hypophosphatemia, which is thought to involve an unknown phosphaturic factor. Hepatectomy-related hypophosphatemia is due to impaired nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) metabolism through its effects on the SLC34 family in the liver-kidney axis. The oxidized form of NAD, NAD+, is an essential cofactor in various cellular biochemical reactions. Levels of NAD+ and its reduced form NADH vary with the availability of dietary energy and nutrients. Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt) generates a key NAD+ intermediate, nicotinamide mononucleotide, from nicotinamide and 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate. The liver, an important organ of NAD metabolism, is thought to release metabolic products such as nicotinamide and may control NAD metabolism in other organs. Moreover, NAD is an important regulator of the circadian rhythm. Liver-specific Nampt-deficient mice and heterozygous Nampt mice have abnormal daily plasma Pi concentration oscillations. These data indicate that NAD metabolism in the intestine, liver, and kidney is closely related to Pi metabolism through the SLC34 family. Here, we review the relationship between the SLC34 family and NAD metabolism based on our recent studies.

Abstract
Hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH; OMIM: 241530) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with an estimated prevalence of 1:250,000 that was originally described by Tieder et al. Individuals with HHRH carry compound-heterozygous or homozygous (comp/hom) loss-of-function mutations in the sodium-phosphate co-transporter NPT2c. These mutations result in the development of urinary phosphate (Pi) wasting and hypophosphatemic rickets, bowing, and short stature, as well as appropriately elevated 1,25(OH)2D levels, which sets this fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23)-independent disorder apart from the more common X-linked hypophosphatemia. The elevated 1,25(OH)2D levels in turn result in hypercalciuria due to enhanced intestinal calcium absorption and reduced parathyroid hormone (PTH)-dependent calcium-reabsorption in the distal renal tubules, leading to the development of kidney stones and/or nephrocalcinosis in approximately half of the individuals with HHRH. Even heterozygous NPT2c mutations are frequently associated with isolated hypercalciuria (IH), which increases the risk of kidney stones or nephrocalcinosis threefold in affected individuals compared with the general population. Bone disease is generally absent in individuals with IH, in contrast to those with HHRH. Treatment of HHRH and IH consists of monotherapy with oral Pi supplements, while active vitamin D analogs are contraindicated, mainly because the endogenous 1,25(OH)2D levels are already elevated but also to prevent further worsening of the hypercalciuria. Long-term studies to determine whether oral Pi supplementation alone is sufficient to prevent renal calcifications and bone loss, however, are lacking. It is also unknown how therapy should be monitored, whether secondary hyperparathyroidism can develop, and whether Pi requirements decrease with age, as observed in some FGF23-dependent hypophosphatemic disorders, or whether this can lead to osteoporosis.

Abstract
Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA) was asked to revise the tolerable upper intake level (UL) for vitamin D for infants (≤ 1 year) set in 2012. From its literature review, the Panel concluded that the available evidence on daily vitamin D intake and the risk of adverse health outcomes (hypercalciuria, hypercalcaemia, nephrocalcinosis and abnormal growth patterns) cannot be used alone for deriving the UL for infants. The Panel conducted a meta-regression analysis of collected data, to derive a dose-response relationship between daily supplemental intake of vitamin D and mean achieved serum 25(OH)D concentrations. Considering that a serum 25(OH)D concentration of 200 nmol/L or below is unlikely to pose a risk of adverse health outcomes in infants, the Panel estimated the percentage of infants reaching a concentration above this value at different intakes of vitamin D. Based on the overall evidence, the Panel kept the UL of 25 μg/day for infants aged up to 6 months and set a UL of 35 μg/day for infants 6-12 months. The Panel was also asked to advise on the safety of the consumption of infant formulae with an increased maximum vitamin D content of 3 μg/100 kcal (Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/127 repealing Directive 2006/141/EC in 2020). For infants aged up to 4 months, the intake assessment showed that the use of infant formulae containing vitamin D at 3 μg/100 kcal may lead some infants to receive an intake above the UL of 25 μg/day from formulae alone without considering vitamin D supplemental intake. For infants aged 4-12 months, the 95th percentile of vitamin D intake (high consumers) estimated from formulae and foods fortified or not with vitamin D does not exceed the ULs, without considering vitamin D supplemental intake.

Abstract
The term Idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia (IIH) was first introduced almost 70 years ago when symptomatic hypercalcemia developed in children after receiving high doses of vitamin D for the prevention of rickets. The underlying pathophysiology remained unknown until recessive mutations in CYP24A1 encoding Vitamin D3-24-hydroxylase were discovered. The defect in vitamin D degradation leads to an accumulation of active 1,25(OH)2D3 with subsequent hypercalcemia. Enhanced renal calcium excretions lead to hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis. Meanwhile, the phenotypic spectrum associated with CYP24A1 mutations has significantly broadened. Patients may present at all age groups with symptoms originating from increased serum calcium levels as well as from increased urinary calcium excretions, i.e. kidney stones. Possible long term sequelae comprise chronic renal failure as well as cardiovascular disease. Here, we present a family with two affected siblings with differing clinical presentation as an example for the phenotypic variability of CYP24A1 defects. CYP24A1 mutations result in increased vitamin D sensitivity. Associated phenotypes range from infantile hypercalcemia to kidney stone disease. Potential long-term sequelae include chronic renal failure. Future research needs to focus on potential treatments to limit vitamin D activation.

Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency can lead to musculoskeletal diseases such as rickets and osteomalacia, but vitamin D supplementation may also prevent extraskeletal diseases such as respiratory tract infections, asthma exacerbations, pregnancy complications and premature deaths. Vitamin D has a unique metabolism as it is mainly obtained through synthesis in the skin under the influence of sunlight (i.e., ultraviolet-B radiation) whereas intake by nutrition traditionally plays a relatively minor role. Dietary guidelines for vitamin D are based on a consensus that serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) concentrations are used to assess vitamin D status, with the recommended target concentrations ranging from ≥25 to ≥50 nmol/L (≥10-≥20 ng/mL), corresponding to a daily vitamin D intake of 10 to 20 μg (400-800 international units). Most populations fail to meet these recommended dietary vitamin D requirements. In Europe, 25(OH)D concentrations <30 nmol/L (12 ng/mL) and <50 nmol/L (20 ng/mL) are present in 13.0 and 40.4% of the general population, respectively. This substantial gap between officially recommended dietary reference intakes for vitamin D and the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in the general population requires action from health authorities. Promotion of a healthier lifestyle with more outdoor activities and optimal nutrition are definitely warranted but will not erase vitamin D deficiency and must, in the case of sunlight exposure, be well balanced with regard to potential adverse effects such as skin cancer. Intake of vitamin D supplements is limited by relatively poor adherence (in particular in individuals with low-socioeconomic status) and potential for overdosing. Systematic vitamin D food fortification is, however, an effective approach to improve vitamin D status in the general population, and this has already been introduced by countries such as the US, Canada, India, and Finland. Recent advances in our knowledge on the safety of vitamin D treatment, the dose-response relationship of vitamin D intake and 25(OH)D levels, as well as data on the effectiveness of vitamin D fortification in countries such as Finland provide a solid basis to introduce and modify vitamin D food fortification in order to improve public health with this likewise cost-effective approach.

Abstract
Nephrolithiasis, urolithiasis, and nephrocalcinosis (NC) have become common causes of hospitalization and referral to pediatric outpatient clinics. It is of utmost importance to start with diagnostic evaluation directly after the first passage of a kidney stone, or if NC is diagnosed, in each pediatric patient. This is necessary, as in about 80% of children a metabolic reason for stone disease is detected. Current treatment options are scarce and mainly include general measures like an increased fluid intake or elevating the solubility of a lithogenic substance. According to the given lithogenic risk factor(s), specific treatment options are available and are being summarized in this review. Furthermore, an outlook on potential future treatment options, including innovative strategies such as mRNA-based or recombinant enzyme substitution therapy, is given.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Vitamin D deficiency is an important public health problem worldwide. Vitamin D deficiency confers a significant risk for both skeletal and non-skeletal disorders and a number of lifelong negative health outcomes. The objectives of this evidence-based guidelines document are to provide health care professionals in Poland, an updated recommendation for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of vitamin D deficiency. METHODS A systematic literature search examining the prevention and treatment strategies for vitamin D deficiency was conducted. Updated recommendations were developed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation system describing the strength of the recommendation and the quality of supporting evidence. Twenty-seven contributors representing different areas of expertise and medical specialties, including pediatricians, geriatricians, endocrinologists, epidemiologists, nephrologists, gynecologists and obstetricians evaluated the available published evidence related to vitamin D, formulated the goals of this document and developed a common consolidated position. The consensus group, representing six national specialist consultants and eight Polish and international scientific organizations/societies, participated in the process of grading evidence and drawing up the general and specific recommendations. RESULTS The updated recommendations define the diagnostic criteria for the evaluation of vitamin D status and describe the prevention and treatment strategies of vitamin D deficiency in the general population and in groups at increased risk of the deficiency. Age- and weight-specific recommendations for prevention, supplementation and treatment of vitamin D deficiency are presented, and detailed practice guidance is discussed regarding the management in primary and specialized health care. CONCLUSION Vitamin D deficiency remains still highly prevalent in Poland, in all age groups. Currently, there is a great necessity to implement a regular supplementation with recommended doses and to develop an effective strategy to alleviate vitamin D deficiency in the population. These updated recommendations are addressed to health professionals and the authorities pursuing comprehensive health policies and should also be included in public health programs aimed at preventing a broad spectrum of chronic diseases.

Abstract
Introduction: The numerous evidence showing spectrum of vitamin D effects on human health resulted in both updates of vitamin D supplementation guidelines for general population and concerns on potential risk of hypercalcaemia. The aim of this study was to analyse trends in serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration (25(OH)D) change over the 30 years of operation of a single pediatric diagnostic unit. Materials and methods: Calcium-phosphate metabolism markers and 25(OH)D concentrations were analyzed in a group that consisted of newborns and infants commissioned for diagnostics due to suspected calcium-phosphate metabolic disturbances (n = 3,163; mean age 8.0 ± 3.0 months). Results: 25(OH)D < 10 ng/ml was noted in 4.5% of patients (n = 163), 10-20 ng/ml in 14.7% (n = 465), 20-30 ng/ml in 23.9% (n = 756) and 30-50 ng/ml in 35.9% (n = 1,136). The mean 25(OH)D concentration in analyzed group was 37.5 ± 24.5 ng/ml. In patients with 25(OH)D concentration < 10 ng/ml a normal calcaemia (2.25-2.65 mmol/l) was noted in 83.4% cases (n = 136). Eighty one patients had 25(OH)D concentrations above 100 ng/ml with co-existing calcaemia in range of 2.6-4.38 mmol/l (mean Ca = 2.69 mmol/l). Hypocalcaemia (Ca < 2.25 mmol/l) was observed in 0.54%, (n = 17). 13.8% patients revealed calcium levels >2.65 mmol/l (n = 435). In general, the mean calcium-phosphate markers values were within the reference range for age. The highest mean 25(OH)D concentration of 51.8 ng/ml ± 38.8 was noted in years 1981-1999 (n = 305). The lowest mean 25(OH)D value was observed in years 2010-2011 (29.0 ng/ml ± 13.6; n = 412). The trend of decreasing 25(OH)D concentration during analyzed time period was significant (r = -0.29, p < 0.0001). Conclusions: Eighty percentage of children aged 0-36 months had 25(OH)D concentration >20 ng/ml, however, during 3 decades a mean 25(OH)D concentrations trended significantly to decrease. A direct relationship between low 25(OH)D concentration and hypocalcaemia was not observed nor between high 25(OH)D concentration and hypercalcemia.

Abstract
Confusion, apathy, recurrent vomiting, abdominal pain, polyuria, polydipsia, and dehydration are the most often noted clinical symptoms of vitamin D toxicity (VDT; also called vitamin D intoxication or hypervitaminosis D). VDT and its clinical manifestation, severe hypercalcemia, are related to excessive long-term intake of vitamin D, malfunctions of the vitamin D metabolic pathway, or the existence of coincident disease that produces the active vitamin D metabolite locally. Although VDT is rare, the health effects can be serious if it is not promptly identified. Many forms of exogenous (iatrogenic) and endogenous VDT exist. Exogenous VDT is usually caused by the inadvertent or improper intake of extremely high doses of pharmacological preparations of vitamin D and is associated with hypercalcemia. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations higher than 150 ng/ml (375 nmol/l) are the hallmark of VDT due to vitamin D overdosing. Endogenous VDT may develop from excessive production of an active vitamin D metabolite - 1,25(OH)2D in granulomatous disorders and in some lymphomas or from the reduced degradation of that metabolite in idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia. Endogenous VDT may also develop from an excessive production of 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2D in congenital disorders, such as Williams-Beuren syndrome. Laboratory testing during routine clinical examinations may reveal asymptomatic hypercalcemia caused by the intake of vitamin D even in doses recommended for the general population and considered safe. That phenomenon, called hypersensitivity to vitamin D, reflects dysregulated vitamin D metabolism. Researchers have proposed many processes to explain VDT. Those processes include elevated activity of 1α-hydroxylase or inhibited activity of 24-hydroxylase, both leading to increased concentration of 1,25(OH)D; increased number of vitamin D receptors; and saturation of the capacity of vitamin D binding protein. Increased public awareness of vitamin D-related health benefits might increase the risk of VDT due to self-administration of vitamin D in doses higher then recommended for age and body weight or even higher than the established upper limit intake values. Consequently, the incidence of hypercalcemia due to hypervitaminosis D might increase.
