Abstract excerpt
Pseudohypoparathyroidism 1b (PHP 1b) is characterized by specific resistance of target tissues to PTH, but no mutations in the PTH/PTH-related peptide (PTHrP) receptor gene have been identified. To investigate the basis for defective PTH signaling, we used polymorphic markers in or near the genes encoding PTH and its receptors to perform linkage analysis between these loci and PHP 1b. Two multiplex PHP 1b...
