Background: 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 the mutations in the CYP27B1 gene encoding for the enzyme 1α-hydroxylase.

Objective and hypotheses: To evaluatethe clinical characteristics, molecular genetics aetiology and long-term outcome of a large nationwide cohort of VDDR-Ia from Turkey.

Method: In this nationwide multi-centre retrospective cross-sectional study we collected data from around the country using a web-based research network, CEDD-NET for paediatric endocrinology. Presenting symptoms, family history, gender, age of diagnosis, anthropometric measurements, presence of skeletal deformity, serum Ca, P, ALP, PTH, 25 (OH) vitamin D level, urinary ca/creatinine ratio and radiological findings were collected from the paediatric endocrine centres using a structured dataset disseminated through the CEDD-NET. Molecular genetics analysis results for which a molecular genetic analysis was applicable were collected. Clinical and biochemical characteristics and their relationship with molecular genetics analysis, treatment strategies and long-term outcomes of patients were recorded. Data collected from the paediatric endocrine centres were analysed using IBM-SPSS software.

Results: In total 128 patients (55 F, 73 M) with VDDR1a were recruited. The median age of the diagnosis was 2.0 years. The most common presenting complaints were skeletal deformity (n=48), short stature (n=46), and delay in walking (n=42), The most common mutations detected in molecular genetics analysis were a splice donor sitemutation (c.195+2T>G) (n=38), followed by a 7-bp duplication mutation 1319–1325dupCCCACCC(Phe443Profs*24) (n=20) and the missense p.192K>E(c.574A>G) mutation (n=19), suggesting Turkey serving as a mutational hot spot or founder effect for the relevant variants. All patients were treated using an active form of vitamin D, calcitriol, at a mean daily dose of 56±27 pg/kg and calcium replacement once required. After an average duration of 6 years for calcitriol therapy, patients’ height SDS improved from the baseline (-2.2±1.6) to the latest follow-up visit (1.6±1.4 SD) during the study period (P<0.001) suggesting a favourable long-term outcome. No severe side effect has been reported in the short-term and long-term follow-up undercalcitriol therapy.

Conclusion: In this nationwide multi-centre retrospective cross-sectional study on the VDDR1a most common three mutations accounted for about half of the cohort suggesting Turkey to be a mutational hotspot or founder effect for the relevant variants. Long-term follow-up data revealed improvement in height outcome with no severe complications suggesting a safe and effective therapy with calcitriol treatment.
