Mutations in the Gs alpha gene causing hormone resistance.

Abstract excerpt

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and G proteins mediate the effects of a number of hormones of relevance to endocrinology. Genes encoding these molecules may be targets of loss- or gain-of-function mutations, resulting in endocrine disorders. The only mutational change of G proteins so far unequivocally associated with endocrine disorders occurs in the Gsalpha gene (GNAS1, guanine nucleotide binding protein...
