Description : Pseudohypoparathyroidism is a term applied to a heterogeneous group of disorders whose
common feature is end-organ resistance to parathyroid hormone (PTH; 168450). In addition
to PTH resistance, PHP Ia is characterized by resistance to other hormones, including
thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH; see TSHB, 188540) and gonadotropins. PHP Ia is associated
with a constellation of clinical features referred to as Albright hereditary osteodystrophy
(AHO), which includes short stature, obesity, round facies, subcutaneous ossifications,
brachydactyly, and other skeletal anomalies. Some patients have mental retardation
(Mantovani and Spada, 2006). In contrast, pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (PPHP; 612463)
is characterized by the physical findings of AHO but without hormone resistance (Kinard
et al., 1979; Fitch, 1982; Mantovani and Spada, 2006). PHP1A occurs only after maternal
inheritance of the molecular defect, whereas PPHP occurs only after paternal inheritance
of the molecular defect (Davies and Hughes, 1993; Wilson et al., 1994). This is an
example of imprinting, with differential gene expression depending on the parent of
origin of the allele. See INHERITANCE and PATHOGENESIS sections.;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the G-protein, alpha-stimulating 1 gene (GNAS1, 139320.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Hypocalcemia; Hyperphosphatemia; Low urinary cyclic AMP response to PTH administration; Elevated serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) level; Reduced erythrocyte Gs activity;
