Overview

Until 1966 many asymptomatic hypercalcemic patients were identified to have familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH), then Jackson and Boonstra described their first patient with hypercalcemia presumed to have hyperparathyroidism. He was not cured despite the removal of three and a half hyperplastic parathyroid glands. Subsequently, seventeen family members with hypercalcemia were identified in three generations.

Historical Perspective

  • A similar family was identified in the year 1972 by Foley Et al. The family members of both the families were asymptomatic and hypercalcemic which is very typical of FHH.[2]
  • In 1990 ten cases of pancreatitis were reported in patients with family members of FHH.[3]
