Genetic\/epigenetic analyses, age at onset, and evidence of hormone resistance, radiologic findings, and long-term follow-up of anthropometric measurements were retrospectively reviewed, and cases were classified according to clinical and genetic features as PHP1A, PHP1B, or PPHP.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The study group consisted of children with PHP1A (n=10), PHP1B (n=8), and PPHP (n=1). PHP1A cases harbored six different\n                      <jats:italic>GNAS<\/jats:italic>\n                      point mutations, one of which was novel.

Except for one PHP1A case, all PHP1A\/1Bs displayed PTH resistance, which developed earlier in PHP1A (6 years vs 11.2 years). All PHP1A and 5 PHP1B cases had clinical or subclinical hypothyroidism. One PHP1A and two PHP1B cases had low free T4 with inappropriately normal TSH, suggesting central hypothyroidism due to presumed TRH resistance. Clinical signs of gonadal dysfunction were observed in four of six girls with PHP1A. Skeletal features of AHO were present in 7 PHP1A and 3 PHP1B patients. Intellectual disability was identified in 50% of PHP1A. Phenotypic variability was noted among subjects with the same mutation.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overlapping PHP1A and PHP1B features may complicate differential diagnosis, necessitating molecular genetic analysis.
