In six patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) who were deficient in guanine nucleotide-binding stimulatory protein (Ns) activity, the response to endogenous arginine vasopressin (AVP) was tested during water deprivation. Hourly plasma osmolality (Posm), urinary osmolality (Uosm), and urinary
A novel G(S alpha) mutation encoding the substitution of arginine for serine 250 (G[S alpha] S250R) was identified in a patient with pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ia. Both G(S) activity and G(S alpha) expression were decreased by about 50% in erythrocyte membranes from the affected patient. The cDNA
A girl with type 1a pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) presented several hormonal abnormalities. Although she had eluded neonatal thyroid screening, she was diagnosed as having hypothyroidism at the age of 5 months. Thereafter, a diagnosis of PHP was made on the basis of skeletal features of Albright
Pseudohypoparathyroidism 1A (PHP1A) consists of signs of Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) and multiple, variable hormonal resistances. Elevated PTH levels are the biochemical hallmark of the disease. Short stature in PHP1A may be caused by a form of accelerated chondrocyte differentiation
A 25 yr-old woman patient was admitted because of convulsion. The diagnosis of pseudohypoparathyroidism was made on the basis of typical stigmata, lowered serum calcium, increased serum phosphorus and parathyroid hormone levels, and defective response in urinary excretion of cyclic AMP and
Heterozygous inactivating mutations in the Gs alpha gene cause Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy. Consistent with the observation that only maternally inherited mutations lead to resistance to hormone action [pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ia (PHP Ia)], recent studies provided evidence for a
Pseudohypoparathyroidism, type Ia (PHP-Ia), is a dominantly inherited endocrine disorder characterized by resistance to hormones that act by stimulating adenylyl cyclase. It is caused by inheritance of an autosomal mutation that inactivates the alpha subunit (alphas) of Gs, the stimulatory regulator
Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is associated with compromised signal transductions via PTH receptor (PTH-R) and other G-protein-coupled receptors including GHRH-R. To date, while GH deficiency (GHD) has been reported in multiple patients with PHP-Ia caused by mutations on the maternally expressed
Background. A 5-year-old white girl with a history of hypothyroidism in infancy presented to the endocrinology clinic of a tertiary hospital. Her physical examination noted a stocky physique, broad chest, short neck and short digits. Two years later, skin examination revealed subcutaneous nodules
Pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ia (PHP-Ia) is characterized by Albright's hereditary osteodistrophy (AHO) and resistance to hormones that act via the alpha subunit of the Gs protein (Gsalpha) protein, ie PTH, TSH, FSH/LH, and, as recently described in limited series, GHRH. However, the current lack
BACKGROUND
Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) types Ia and Ib, are caused by mutations in GNAS exons 1-13 and GNAS methylation defects, respectively. PHP-Ia patients show Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) and resistance toward PTH and additional hormones, whereas PHP-Ib patients do not have AHO
Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) is a genetic disorder caused by heterozygous inactivating mutations in GNAS1, the gene encoding the alpha-chain of G(s), and is associated with short stature, obesity, brachydactyly, and sc ossifications. AHO patients with GNAS1 mutations on maternally
Hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia are encountered in idiopathic hypoparathyroidism (IHP) and pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ib (PHP1B). In contrast to PHP1B, which is caused by resistance toward parathyroid hormone (PTH), the genetic defects leading to IHP impair production of this important

PRMT7 encodes for an arginine methyltransferase that methylates arginine residues on various protein substrates and has been shown to play a role in various developmental processes. Mutations in PRMT7 have been recently shown to be implicated in a phenotype with intellectual disability, short
