Etiology due to hormonal defects : idiopathic hypoparathyroidism and pseudohypoparathyroidism.
2.
:It might be pseudohypoparathyroidism, a hereditary condition also known as Albright Hereditary Osteodystrophy.
3.
Short stature may be present . Obesity is less common in pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism than in pseudohypoparathyroidism.
4.
In fact, blood levels of parathyroid hormone are elevated in pseudohypoparathyroidism due to the continued hypocalcemia.
5.
Secondly, I came across the word " pseudohypoparathyroidism " and noted that it's made of 5 different " bits ".
6.
He determined that parathyroid hormone acts through cyclic AMP, and demonstrated that pseudohypoparathyroidism is a disorder of the parathyroid hormone receptor complex.
7.
Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism and pseudohypoparathyroidism both involve the same GNAS gene, but pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism has normal calcium homeostasis because of the normal maternal allele in the kidney.
8.
Type 1a Pseudohypoparathyroidism is clinically manifest by bone resorption with blunting of the fourth and fifth dorsum of the hand is viewed in closed fist position.
9.
There are a number of rare but well-described genetic conditions affecting parathyroid hormone metabolism, including pseudohypoparathyroidism, familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia, and autosomal dominant hypercalciuric hypocalcaemia.
10.
It is sometimes considered a variant of Albright hereditary osteodystrophy . It was characterized in 1952 by Fuller Albright as " pseudo-pseudohypoparathyroidism " ( with hyphen ).
