Vitamin D-dependent rickets, type 2A

Vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2A is characterized by bone deformations typical of vitamin D deficiency despite of hight levels of serum calcitriol (1,25-hydroxy vitamin D). Also an alopecia is a common finding. The disease is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the vitamin D receptor gene.
