What is the definition of Familial Hypocalciuric Hypercalcemia Type 1?

Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) type 1 is subtype of a rare genetic (autosomal dominant) condition caused by a mutation in the calcium-sensing receptor gene (CASR). Familiar hypocalciuric hypercalcemia type 1 results in a loss of sensitivity in parathyroid and kidney cells that makes the body register high calcium levels (hypercalcemia) as normal. Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia type I accounts for 65% of cases.
