Overview

Pseudohypoparathyroidism is caused by mutations involving primarily the GNAS gene that results in end organ resistance to parathyroid hormone

Causes

  • Pseudohypoparathyroidism is caused by mutations that results in end organ resistance to parathyroid hormone like:
    • Heterozygous GNAS inactivating mutations that reduce expression or function of Gαs
    • Familial- heterozygous deletions in STX16, NESP55, and/or AS exons or loss of methylation at GNAS
    • Sporadic- paternal Uniparental disomy of chromosome 20q in some or methylation defect affecting all four GNAS DMRs
    • Combination of inactivating mutations of GNAS1 and Albright's osteodystrophy
