Functional characterization of GNAS mutations found in patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ic defines a new subgroup of pseudohypoparathyroidism affecting selectively Gsα-receptor interaction.

Abstract excerpt

Pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ia (PHPIa) is caused by GNAS mutations leading to deficiency of the α-subunit of stimulatory G proteins (Gsα) that mediate signal transduction of G protein-coupled receptors via cAMP. PHP type Ic (PHPIc) and PHPIa share clinical features of Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO); however, in vitro activity of solubilized Gsα protein is normal in PHPIc but reduced in PHPIa. We...
