Vitamin D-dependent Rickets

1,25(0H)2D3 induces 25(OH)D3-24-hydroxylase (24-OHase) in cultured skin fibroblasts from normal subjects. We evaluated 24-OHase induction by 1,25(0H)2D3 in skin fibroblasts from 10 normal subjects and from four unrelated patients with hereditary resistance to 1,25(OH)2D or vitamin D-dependent rickets type II (DD II). Fibroblasts were preincubated with varying concentrations of 1,25(0H)2D3 for 1...
