Abstract:
Pseudohypoparathyroidism is a rare disease characterized by a target tissue resistance to the action of the parathyroid hormone (PTH). Frequently, others hormonal disorders can be associated. We report a family with pseudohypoparathyroidism type I, and discuss the clinical-hormonal alterations founded; it is emphasized that while there were no phenotypical differences among the family members; from the hormonal features point of view, some differences do exist, and several degrees of peripheral resistance were noted.
