Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the correlation between Ca, Al, As, Co, Mg, P, Fe, parathyroid hormone (PTH), Ct levels and primary familial brain calcification (PFBC).
Methods:We recruited 17 PFBC families from July, 2015 to October, 2016. Groups were divided according to clinical symptoms, the serum concentrations of Ca, P, Fe, Al, As, Co, PTH and Ct were compared among different family groups.
Results:There was no significant difference in serum levels of Ca, P, Fe, Al, As, Co, PTH and Ct among the healthy and patient groups or the symptomatic and asymptomatic groups, symptomatic and asymptomatic groups in movement disorder families and in psychiatric families (P>0.05).
Conclusions:Among the 17 PFBC families, neither serum concentrations of Ca, Al, As, Co, Mg, P, and Fe nor the levels of PTH and Ct were associated with PFBC.
