Neonatal hyperparathyroidism (NHPT) is a disorder of calcium homeostasis that is associated with missense mutations of the calcium-sensing receptor. NHPT is characterized by marked elevation in serum calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, skeletal demineralization, and parathyroid cellular hyperplasia that can be lethal without parathyroidectomy.
