Overview

Other diagnostic studies include genetic testing, platelet aggregation testing for Gsα defects and bone densitometry testing.

Other Diagnostic Studies

  • Genetic testing may be helpful in the diagnosis of pseudohypoparathyroidism[1][2]
  • Analysis of the GNAS1 gene can confirm diagnosis and identify the different variants of PHP
  • Testing for paternal uniparental isodisomy of chromosome 20q or deletions in STX16 can also help in diagnosis of pseudohypoparathyroidism 1b
  • Gsα defects can be diagnosed by assessment of variations in platelet aggregation responses reflecting a patient's genotype
  • Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1b associated bone disease can be evaluated with bone mineral density (BMD)
