Two of the 4 have died but plasma calcitonin activity was measured in the 2 surviving children and was not found to be elevated. A relationship between circulating calcitonin excess and osteopetrosis cannot be substantiated.

Calcitonin – In hyper Ca, calcitonin lowers serum conc of Ca by inhibiting osteoclastic activity which is stimulated by PTH. ... Calcitonin excess – stimulates PTH secretion, over excretion of Ca over a short peroid of time. Deficit – ? abnormal bone growth in children, if osteoclastic activity isn't regulated.
