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:[1]
- 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 genes
- Combination of inactivating mutations of GNAS1 and Albright's osteodystrophy
