Abstract excerpt
Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) is a heterogeneous clinical entity in part associated with pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) and other endocrinopathies. It may be caused by diminished Gs alpha protein activity. Heterozygous mutations in the underlying GNAS gene on chromosome 20 have been described. One hundred and six patients with suspected AHO, were investigated, of whom 93 showed a laboratory profile...
