This investigation confirms the high level of biologic activity and the similarity of the effects of small doses of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2-D3) and of its analog 1alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 (1alpha-OH-D3) on children with nutritional rickets, "pseudodeficiency" rickets (PDR), hereditary hypophosphatemia, chronic idiopathic hypoparathyroidism, and chronic renal failure.  It also shows that cystinotic patients may develop, at the end stage of the disease, a certain degree of resistance to 1,25-(OH)2-D3.  The comparison of the therapeutic effects of long term oral administration of 1,25-(OH)2-D3 or 1alpha-OH-D3 to two D-deficient children and two sibs with PDR demonstrates differences in sensitivity.  In the patients with nutritional rickets, 0.5 mug/24 hr of either drug corrects the biochemical abnormalities, initiates healing of skeletal lesions in 28 days, and cures the metaphyseal le lesions in 60 days of therapy.  In contrast, it appears that doses of either drug that are curative in D deficiency rickets are only partly active in PDR.  These observations indicate that the hypothesis of a deficit in 25-hydroxycholecalciferol 1alpha-hydroxylase in patients with PDR must await for confirmation more direct evidences, and that such a deficit, even if proven, may not account for all of the biochemical and skeletal alterations seen in patients with this inherited disorder.
