ABSTRACT

Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1a (PHP1a) is a genetic disorder caused by heterozygous loss-of-function mutations on the maternal allele of the GNAS gene. Patients with PHP1a predominantly exhibit parathyroid hormone (PTH) resistance and physical features of Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy. We report two unrelated cases with PHP1a who developed tertiary hyperparathyroidism (HPT). Molecular analyses of the GNAS gene identified a previously known heterozygous 4-bp deletion (c. 565_568delGACT) in exon 7 in case 1 and a novel heterozygous missense mutation (p.Lys233Glu) in exon 9 in case 2. Both patients developed tertiary HPT associated with hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands during long-term treatment of hypocalcemia. Case 1 had severe osteoporosis and underwent parathyroidectomy. Case 2 was asymptomatic with no evidence of bone diseases associated with tertiary HPT. PHP1a patients are at risk of developing tertiary HPT and should be treated with sufficient doses of calcium and vitamin D to achieve serum PTH levels within the mid - normal to double the upper limit of the normal range, regardless of serum calcium levels.
