Pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ia and growth hormone deficiency. Growth hormone releasing hormone receptor defect?
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a boy with pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP), hypothyroidism and low growth hormone (GH) values with no response to growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH). He presented at age 17 mo because of developmental delay. He had the typical features (short stature, obesity, round face, brachydactyly) of Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) and the biochemical profile of PHP; low serum calcium and high phosphate, raised parathormone (PTH) values and lack of response of urinary phosphate and cyclic AMP to PTH administration. The serum total thyroxine value (T4) was 37.32 nmol/L and the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) 29 mU/L. Peak GH values during two provocative tests (Glucagon, L-Dopa) were <2.5 microg/L and <1.7 microg/L, respectively, while following GHRH administration the maximum GH value was 0.2 microg/L. The IGFI value was 65 ng/ml and rose to 253 ng/ml after GH administration for three days. This boy had PTH and TSH receptor defect and we speculate that he also has GHRH receptor defect.

Pituitary hypoplasia and growth hormone deficiency in a woman with glycogen storage disease type Ia: a case report
INTRODUCTION Growth retardation is one of the cardinal manifestations of glycogen storage disease type Ia. It is unclear which component of the growth hormone and/or insulin-like growth factor axis is primarily disrupted, and management of growth impairment in these patients remains controversial. Here we report the first case in the literature where glycogen storage disease type Ia is associat...

Pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ia (PHP-Ia) is characterized by multihormone resistance and an Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) phenotype. It is caused by heterozygous mutations in GNAS gene. Clinical and biochemical findings of a female PHP-Ia patient were evaluated from age of diagnosis (6.5 years) to 14.5 years of age. The patient had short stature, brachydactyly, and subcutaneous hete...
