Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the guanine nucleotide binding protein alpha subunit (Gs alpha) have been found in patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP). We have screened the Gs alpha gene for mutations in a Japanese patient with this disorder and identified a novel 4-base pair deletion in exon 7 in codons 189-190. This deletion causes a frameshift and if synthesis of a truncated form of Gs alpha occurred, it would likely be...
