What is ADH1?
Autosomal dominant hypocalcemia type 1 (ADH1) is a rare genetic condition characterized by low serum calcium caused by gain-of-function variants in the calcium-sensing receptor gene (CASR).1,2
Low serum calcium. Low or inappropriately normal parathyroid hormone (PTH). High urine calcium. These clues can point to something deeper. When surgery isn’t the cause, genetic testing can help confirm an ADH1 diagnosis and provide clarity. Watch for the signs; test to confirm.1-3

Without genetic testing, ADH1 cannot be reliably distinguished from other causes of hypoparathyroidism. No-cost genetic testing is available to help confirm a suspected diagnosis.
Explore the key characteristics, clinical impact, and diagnostic importance of this rare genetic condition.
Because ADH1 is rare, patients often receive an incomplete diagnosis that may lead to1:
