Genetic testing for ADH1
& hypoparathyroidism

See ADH1 in Action

Are you experiencing pins and needles, muscle cramps, or brain fog? Ongoing symptoms of low calcium from nonsurgical hypoparathyroidism may point to an underlying genetic cause, like autosomal dominant hypocalcemia type 1 (ADH1).

Recognizing the signs of ADH1

ADH1 is a rare genetic condition that affects how the body regulates calcium. Consider genetic testing if you experience any of these signs.

  • Symptoms affecting your muscles and nerves

    Frequent muscle cramps, tingling, or "pins and needles"

  • Seizures, fatigue, and brain fog

    Unexplained episodes that could be caused by low calcium levels

  • Kidney issues

    A history of kidney stones or calcifications

  • Family history of low calcium

    Family members with similar signs and symptoms or a history of low calcium

Understanding the genetic cause of your low calcium

If you or a loved one are living with low calcium (hypocalcemia) from nonsurgical hypoparathyroidism, confirming whether ADH1 is the cause
can help shape more personalized care.

Why genetic testing matters

A single diagnosis can unlock answers for the whole family.

  • Diagnostic clarity

    An ADH1 diagnosis can bring clarity to past experiences, and open the door to next steps.

  • Informed care

    One no-cost genetic test can confirm a diagnosis
of ADH1 and help shape more personalized care.

  • Meaningful impact

    Because ADH1 can run in families,
one confirmed ADH1 diagnosis can
inform generations of loved ones.
