Overview

All types of pseudohypoparathyroidism and associated parathyroid resistance syndromes are rare diseases.

In Japan, the prevalence of pseudohypoparathyroidism ranges from a low of 0.26 per 100,000 persons to a high of 0.42 per 100,000 persons with an average prevalence of 0.34 per 100,000 persons.^[1]
In Italy, the estimated prevalence of PHP type 1a, type1b, and PPHP is 0.67 per 100,000.^[2]

The demographics of pseudohypoparthyroidism are as follows:^[2]

Patients with pseudohypoparthyroidism type 1a and type 1c present in the second decade with physical features of Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy.
Neonatal screening can detect patients with severe hypoparathyroidism in severe cases.

The prevalence and incidence of pseudohypoparathyroidism is more common in women than in men.
