Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) and Pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ia (PHPIa) are caused by an inherited deficiency of Gsalpha, encoded by the GNAS gene. Apart from an exclusive first exon, Gsalpha shares part of the transcribed regions with NESP55, Exon A/B and XLalphas, whose gene products utilize alternative promoter regions of this complex gene locus. However, it is not known, whether the...
