Cell membranes from patients with PHP type Ia and from patients with pseudoPHP contained levels of immunoactive Gs alpha that were equivalently reduced (43 +/- 4% vs. 42 +/- 5%, respectively).

A mother with pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism and her short son showed poor spontaneous growth hormone secretion, and provocation tests suggested a deficiency of growth hormone releasing factor.
In contrast, all tested healthy family members as well as the patients with pseudo-PHP exhibited normal calcium metabolism including cAMP response to exogenous PTH.
AHO refers to the phenotype of the syndromes of pseudo-hypoparathyroidism (PHP) type Ia and pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (PPHP), both considered genetically related variants with a defect of the alpha subunit of the stimulatory G protein of adenylate cyclase, necessary for the action of parathyroid and other hormones using cyclic AMP as an intracellular second messenger.

An adult woman with pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism had a child with normal calcium and parathyroid hormone concentrations and cyclic AMP response to injected parathyroid hormone in infancy.

AHO appears in patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) who have resistance to PTH and in their eumetabolic family members who have pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (PPHP).
Variable biochemical changes many represent either pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) owing to resistance to parathormone (PTH) or pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (PPHP) with no hormone resistance.
An inherited mutation associated with functional deficiency of the alpha-subunit of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein Gs in pseudo- and pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism.
An inherited mutation associated with functional deficiency of the alpha-subunit of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein Gs in pseudo- and pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism.
Mutations of the GNAS1 gene, which is located on chromosome 20q13.11 and encodes the alpha-subunit of the stimulatory GTP-binding protein, have been identified in patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ia (PHPIa) and pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (PPHP).
Affected members of most AHO kindreds (both those with PPHP and those with PHP Ia) have a partial deficiency of Gs alpha, the alpha-subunit of the G protein that couples receptors to adenylyl cyclase stimulation, and in a number of cases heterozygous loss of function mutations within the Gs alpha gene (GNAS1) have been identified.
Stimulatory guanine nucleotide binding protein subunit 1 mutation in two siblings with pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1a and mother with pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism.
Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) refers to two major variants that generally coexist in the same family, PHP type Ia (PHP Ia), in which both PTH resistance and a constellation of physical features, termed Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO), are present, and pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (PPHP), in which AHO occurs without PTH resistance.
