Pseudo-Vitamin D Deficiency Rickets (PDDR), an heritable defect in renal 25-hydroxyvitamin D 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity, leads to insufficient synthesis of 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol) and the early onset of severe rickets which can only be offset by replacement therapy with calcitriol. The nature of the underlying mutation remains unknown. Hydroxylation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in the 1 alpha-position is not restricted to the renal tubular cells. We have previously shown that human decidual cells do produce calcitriol and that the enzyme activity was regulated by feedback mechanisms. We now demonstrate that cells isolated from the decidua of PDDR patients lack that function making them likely targets for the mutation. This suggests that the decidual and renal enzymes (or a controller of their activity) are encoded by the same gene. Thus the PDDR placenta represents a source of mutant cells for further investigation of the PDDR molecular defect.
