 Blood levels of parathyroid hormone are elevated in pseudohypoparathyroidism due to the hypocalcemia

This condition is associated with genetic imprinting.It is thought to be inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, and seems to be associated with a Gs alpha subunit deficiency.The mechanism of this condition is due to Gs signaling decrease in hormones having to do with signal transduction which is when a signal from outside cell causes change within the cell (in function).
