Abstract excerpt
Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a heterogeneous disease complex characterized by resistance to parathyroid hormone (PTH). PHP type Ib has been thought to be caused by abnormalities in PTH/PTH-related protein (PTHrP) receptor. However, previous studies have shown no mutation in the coding region of PTH/PTHrP receptor gene in patients with PHP type Ib. Because patients with PHP type Ib do not have Albright's...
