Abstract excerpt
Parental imprinting and the type of the genetic alteration play a determinant role in the phenotype expression of GNAS locus associated to pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP). This imprint is tissue-specific, mainly localized in the kidney and the thyroid. Only the maternal allele is expressed at this level. An alteration in the coding sequence of the gene leads to an haplo-insufficiency and a dysmorphic phenotype...
