Abstract excerpt
Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a rare heterogeneous genetic disorder characterized by end-organ resistance to parathyroid hormone due to partial deficiency of the α subunit of the stimulatory G protein (Gsα), encoded by the GNAS gene. Heterozygous inactivating GNAS mutations lead to either PHP type Ia (PHP-Ia), when maternally inherited, or pseudo-pseudohypoparathroidism (PPHP), if paternally derived. Both...
