Convulsions
Most affected individuals are asymptomatic but patients may suffer from generalized convulsions. In adulthood, chondrocalcinosis may be observed. [orpha.net]
These disorders share the general symptoms of hypomagnesemia, tetany and epileptiformic convulsions, and often include secondary or associated disturbances in calcium excretion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Patients may suffer from generalized convulsions, but they may also be asymptomatic, except for the development of chondrocalcinosis at an adult age. [link.springer.com]

Etiology
Etiology ADPHH is caused by mutations in the FXYD2 gene (11q23; mutation p.Gly41Arg) which encodes the gamma subunit of the Na /K -ATPase, localized on the basolateral membranes of nephron epithelial cells and expressed in the distal convoluted tubule [orpha.net]
Elucidation of the genetic etiology and, for most of these disorders, also the underlying pathophysiology of the disease, has greatly increased our understanding of the normal physiology of renal magnesium handling. [wwww.unboundmedicine.com]
