constitutional     --over  
from early cardiac development causing an abnormality of the conduction system and cardiac edema
Susceptibility
  • to bone osteoporosis
  • to Kidney Stone Disease (KSD)
  • Variant & Polymorphism other
  • polymorphism associated with bone resorption
  • potential association between 3'UTR+18C>T and intron 1 polymorphisms in the CALCR and the risk of kidney stone disease
  • rs1801197 could definitely be considered as one of the risk factors for KSD in Indian population
  • Candidate gene
    Marker
  • high Calcitonin /CALCR expression in primary prostate tumors may serve as a prognostic indicator of disease aggressiveness and poor clinical outcome
  • Therapy target

    prevention of CALCR-TJP1 interaction abolishes calcitonin-induced invasion, and can serve as a novel therapeutic tool to treat aggressive prostate cancers
