Nutritional rickets (NR), secondary to vitamin D deficiency and/or dietary calcium deficiency, is characterized by a range of features including 1) hypocalcemic seizures and tetanic spasms; 2) life-threatening hypocalcemic cardiomyopathy; 3) bone pain and muscle weakness; 4) limb and pelvic deformities; 5) failure to thrive; 6) developmental delay; and 7) dental anomalies. Rickets can additionally be caused by genetic defects such as a defect in the vitamin D receptor gene.
