Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH), which is primarily regulated by extracellular calcium changes, controls calcium and phosphate homeostasis. Different diseases are derived from PTH deficiency (hypoparathyroidism), excess (hyperparathyroidism) and resistance (pseudohypoparathyroidism, PHP). Pseudohypoparathyroidism was historically classified into subtypes according to the presence or not of inherited PTH resistance associated or not with features of Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy and deep and progressive ectopic ossifications. The growing knowledge on the PTH/PTHrP signaling pathway showed that molecular defects affecting different members of this pathway determined distinct, yet clinically related disorders, leading to the proposal of a new nomenclature and classification encompassing all disorders, collectively termed inactivating PTH/PTHrP signaling disorders (iPPSD).

Abstract
Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP), the first known post-receptorial hormone resistance, derives from a partial deficiency of the α subunit of the stimulatory G protein (Gsα), a key component of the PTH/PTHrP signaling pathway. Since its first description, different studies unveiled, beside the molecular basis for PHP, the existence of different subtypes and of diseases in differential diagnosis associated with genetic alterations in other genes of the PTH/PTHrP pathway. The clinical and molecular overlap among PHP subtypes and with different but related disorders make both differential diagnosis and genetic counseling challenging. Recently, a proposal to group all these conditions under the novel term "inactivating PTH/PTHrP signaling disorders (iPPSD)" was promoted and, soon afterwards, the first international consensus statement on the diagnosis and management of these disorders has been published. This review will focus on the major and minor features characterizing PHP/iPPSDs as a group and on the specificities as well as the overlap associated with the most frequent subtypes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acrodysostosis is a rare hereditary disorder described as a primary bone dysplasia with or without hormonal resistance. Pathogenic variants in the PRKAR1A and PDE4D genes are known genetic causes of this condition. The latter gene variants are more frequently identified in patients with midfacial and nasal hypoplasia and neurological involvement. The aim of our study was to analyse and confirm a genetic cause of acrodysostosis in a male patient. CASE PRESENTATION We report on a 29-year-old Lithuanian man diagnosed with acrodysostosis type 2. The characteristic phenotype includes specific skeletal abnormalities, facial dysostosis, mild intellectual disability and metabolic syndrome. Using patient's DNA extracted from peripheral blood sample, the novel, likely pathogenic, heterozygous de novo variant NM_001104631.2:c.581G > C was identified in the gene PDE4D via Sanger sequencing. This variant causes amino acid change (NP_001098101.1:p.(Arg194Pro)) in the functionally relevant upstream conserved region 1 domain of PDE4D. CONCLUSIONS This report further expands the knowledge of the consequences of missense variants in PDE4D that affect the upstream conserved region 1 regulatory domain and indicates that pathogenic variants of the gene PDE4D play an important role in the pathogenesis mechanism of acrodysostosis type 2 without significant hormonal resistance.

Fourteen-year follow-up of a child with acroscyphodysplasia with emphasis on the need for multidisciplinary management: a case report. BMC MEDICAL GENETICS 2020; 21:189. [PMID: 32993552 PMCID: PMC7526353 DOI: 10.1186/s12881-020-01127-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2020] [Accepted: 09/22/2020] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
Background Acroscyphodysplasia has been described as a phenotypic variant of acrodysostosis type 2 and pseudohypoparathyroidism. In acrodysostosis, skeletal features can include brachydactyly, facial hypoplasia, cone-shaped epiphyses, short stature, and advanced bone age. To date, reports on this disorder have focused on phenotypic findings, endocrine changes, and genetic variation. We present a 14-year overview of a patient, from birth to skeletal maturity, with acroscyphodysplasia, noting the significant orthopaedic challenges and the need for a multidisciplinary team, including specialists in genetics, orthopaedics, endocrinology, and otolaryngology, to optimize long-term outcomes. Case presentation The patient presented as a newborn with dysmorphic facial features, including severe midface hypoplasia, malar flattening, nasal stenosis, and feeding difficulties. Radiologic findings were initially subtle, and a skeletal survey performed at age 7 months was initially considered normal. Genetic evaluation revealed a variant in PDE4D and subsequent pseudohypoparathyroidism. The patient presented to the department of orthopaedics, at age 2 years 9 months with a leg length discrepancy, right knee contracture, and severely crouched gait. Radiographs demonstrated cone-shaped epiphyses of the right distal femur and proximal tibia, but no evidence of growth plate changes in the left leg. The child developed early posterior epiphyseal arrest on the right side and required multiple surgical interventions to achieve neutral extension. Her left distal femur developed late posterior physeal arrest and secondary contracture without evidence of schypho deformity, which improved with anterior screw epiphysiodesis. The child required numerous orthopaedic surgical interventions to achieve full knee extension bilaterally. At age 13 years 11 months, she was an independent ambulator with erect posture. The child underwent numerous otolaryngology procedures and will require significant ongoing care. She has moderate intellectual disability. Discussion and conclusions Key challenges in the management of this case included the subtle changes on initial skeletal survey and the marked asymmetry of her deformity. While cone-shaped epiphyses are a hallmark of acrodysostosis, posterior tethering/growth arrest of the posterior distal femur has not been previously reported. Correction of the secondary knee contracture was essential to improve ambulation. Children with acroscyphodysplasia require a multidisciplinary approach, including radiology, genetics, orthopaedics, otolaryngology, and endocrinology specialties.

Abstract
Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) is a complex disorder defined by the presence of a short adult stature relative to the height of an unaffected parent and brachydactyly type E, as well as a stocky build, round face, and ectopic calcifications. AHO and pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) have been used interchangeably in the past. The term PHP describes end-organ resistance to parathyroid hormone (PTH), occurring with or without the physical features of AHO. Conversely, pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (PPHP) describes individuals with AHO features in the absence of PTH resistance. PHP and PPHP are etiologically linked and caused by genetic and/or epigenetic alterations in the guanine nucleotide-binding protein alpha-stimulating (Gs α) locus (GNAS) in chromosome 20q13. Another less-recognized group of skeletal dysplasias, termed acrodysostosis, partially overlap with skeletal, endocrine, and neurodevelopmental features of AHO/PHP and can be overlooked in clinical practice, causing confusion in the literature. Acrodysostosis is caused by defects in two genes, PRKAR1A and PDE4D, both encoding important components of the Gs α-cyclic adenosine monophosphate-protein kinase A signaling pathway. We describe the clinical course and genotype of two adult patients with overlapping AHO features who harbored novel pathogenic variants in GNAS (c.2273C > G, p.Pro758Arg, NM_080425.2) and PRKAR1A (c.803C > T, p.Ala268Val, NM_002734.4), respectively. We highlight the value of expert radiological opinion and molecular testing in establishing correct diagnoses and discuss phenotypic features of our patients, including the first description of subcutaneous ossification and spina bifida occulta in PRKAR1A-related acrodysostosis, in the context of the novel inactivating PTH/PTH related peptide signaling disorder classification system.

Abstract
Metabolic disorders caused by impairments of the Gsα/cAMP/PKA pathway affecting the signaling of PTH/PTHrP lead to features caused by non-responsiveness of target organs, in turn leading to manifestations similar to the deficiency of the hormone itself. Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) and related disorders derive from a defect of the α subunit of the stimulatory G protein (Gsα) or of downstream effectors of the same pathway, such as the PKA regulatory subunit 1A and the phosphodiesterase type 4D. The increasing knowledge on these diseases made the actual classification of PHP outdated as it does not include related conditions such as acrodysostosis (ACRDYS) or progressive osseous heteroplasia (POH), so that a new nomenclature and classification has been recently proposed grouping these disorders under the term "inactivating PTH/PTHrP signaling disorder" (iPPSD). This review will focus on the pathophysiology, clinical and molecular aspects of these rare, heterogeneous but closely related diseases.

Abstract
This Consensus Statement covers recommendations for the diagnosis and management of patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) and related disorders, which comprise metabolic disorders characterized by physical findings that variably include short bones, short stature, a stocky build, early-onset obesity and ectopic ossifications, as well as endocrine defects that often include resistance to parathyroid hormone (PTH) and TSH. The presentation and severity of PHP and its related disorders vary between affected individuals with considerable clinical and molecular overlap between the different types. A specific diagnosis is often delayed owing to lack of recognition of the syndrome and associated features. The participants in this Consensus Statement agreed that the diagnosis of PHP should be based on major criteria, including resistance to PTH, ectopic ossifications, brachydactyly and early-onset obesity. The clinical and laboratory diagnosis should be confirmed by a molecular genetic analysis. Patients should be screened at diagnosis and during follow-up for specific features, such as PTH resistance, TSH resistance, growth hormone deficiency, hypogonadism, skeletal deformities, oral health, weight gain, glucose intolerance or type 2 diabetes mellitus, and hypertension, as well as subcutaneous and/or deeper ectopic ossifications and neurocognitive impairment. Overall, a coordinated and multidisciplinary approach from infancy through adulthood, including a transition programme, should help us to improve the care of patients affected by these disorders.

Expanding the phenotypic spectrum of variants in PDE4D/PRKAR1A: from acrodysostosis to acroscyphodysplasia. Eur J Hum Genet 2018; 26:1611-1622. [PMID: 30006632 DOI: 10.1038/s41431-018-0135-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2017] [Revised: 02/11/2018] [Accepted: 02/23/2018] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Acrodysostosis (MIM 101800) is a dominantly inherited condition associating (1) skeletal features (short stature, facial dysostosis, and brachydactyly with cone-shaped epiphyses), (2) resistance to hormones and (3) possible intellectual disability. Acroscyphodysplasia (MIM 250215) is characterized by growth retardation, brachydactyly, and knee epiphyses embedded in cup-shaped metaphyses. We and others have identified PDE4D or PRKAR1A variants in acrodysostosis; PDE4D variants have been reported in three cases of acroscyphodysplasia. Our study aimed at reviewing the clinical and molecular findings in a cohort of 27 acrodysostosis and 5 acroscyphodysplasia cases. Among the acrodysostosis cases, we identified 9 heterozygous de novo PRKAR1A variants and 11 heterozygous PDE4D variants. The 7 patients without variants presented with symptoms of acrodysostosis (brachydactyly and cone-shaped epiphyses), but none had the characteristic facial dysostosis. In the acroscyphodysplasia cases, we identified 2 PDE4D variants. For 2 of the 3 negative cases, medical records revealed early severe infection, which has been described in some reports of acroscyphodysplasia. Subdividing our series of acrodysostosis based on the disease-causing gene, we confirmed genotype-phenotype correlations. Hormone resistance was consistently observed in patients carrying PRKAR1A variants, whereas no hormone resistance was observed in 9 patients with PDE4D variants. All patients with PDE4D variants shared characteristic facial features (midface hypoplasia with nasal hypoplasia) and some degree of intellectual disability. Our findings of PDE4D variants in two cases of acroscyphodysplasia support that PDE4D may be responsible for this severe skeletal dysplasia. We eventually emphasize the importance of some specific assessments in the long-term follow up, including cardiovascular and thromboembolic risk factors.

Abstract
The skeletal ciliopathies are a heterogeneous group of disorders with a significant clinical and genetic variability and the main clinical features are thoracic hypoplasia and short tubular bones. To date, 25 genes have been identified in association with skeletal ciliopathies. Mutations in the KIAA0753 gene have recently been associated with Joubert syndrome (JBTS) and orofaciodigital (OFD) syndrome. We report biallelic pathogenic variants in KIAA0753 in four patients with short-rib type skeletal dysplasia. The manifestations in our patients are variable and ranging from fetal lethal to viable and moderate skeletal dysplasia with narrow thorax and abnormal metaphyses. We demonstrate that KIAA0753 is expressed in normal fetal human growth plate and show that the affected fetus, with a compound heterozygous frameshift and a nonsense mutation in KIAA0753, has an abnormal proliferative zone and a broad hypertrophic zone. The importance of KIAA0753 for normal skeletal development is further confirmed by our findings that zebrafish embryos homozygous for a nonsense mutation in kiaa0753 display altered cartilage patterning.

Identification of Associated Genes and Diseases in Patients With Congenital Upper-Limb Anomalies: A Novel Application of the OMT Classification. J Hand Surg Am 2017; 42:533-545.e4. [PMID: 28669419 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhsa.2017.03.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2016] [Revised: 01/09/2017] [Accepted: 03/30/2017] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Congenital upper-limb anomalies (CULA) can present as a part of a syndrome or association. There is a wide spectrum of CULA, each of which might be related to different diseases. The structure provided by the Oberg, Manske, and Tonkin (OMT) classification could aid in differential diagnosis formulation in patients with CULA. The aims of this study were to review the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) project database for diseases and causative genes related to the CULA described in the OMT classification and to develop a methodology for differential diagnosis formulation based on the observed congenital anomalies, CulaPhen. METHODS We reviewed the HPO database for all diseases, including causative genes related to CULA. All CULA were classified according to the OMT classification; associated non-hand phenotypes were classified into 12 anatomical groups. We analyzed the contribution of each anatomical group to a given disease and developed a tool for differential diagnosis formulation based on these contributions. We compared our results with cases from the literature and with a current HPO tool, Phenomizer. RESULTS In total, 514 hand phenotypes were obtained, 384 of which could be classified in the OMT classification. A total of 1,403 diseases could be related to those CULA. A comparison with 10 recently published cases with CULA revealed that the presented phenotype matched the descriptions in our dataset. The differential diagnosis produced using our methodology was more accurate than Phenomizer in 4 of 5 examples. CONCLUSIONS The OMT classification can be used to describe hand anomalies that may present in over 1,400 diseases. CulaPhen was developed to provide a (hand) phenotype-based differential diagnosis. Differential diagnosis formulation based on the proposed system outperforms the system in current use. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study illustrates that the OMT diagnoses, either individually or combined, can be cross-referenced with different diseases and syndromes. Therefore, use of the OMT classification can aid differential diagnosis formulation for CULA patients.

From pseudohypoparathyroidism to inactivating PTH/PTHrP signalling disorder (iPPSD), a novel classification proposed by the EuroPHP network. Eur J Endocrinol 2016; 175:P1-P17. [PMID: 27401862 DOI: 10.1530/eje-16-0107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 81] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2016] [Revised: 07/05/2016] [Accepted: 07/07/2016] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Disorders caused by impairments in the parathyroid hormone (PTH) signalling pathway are historically classified under the term pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP), which encompasses rare, related and highly heterogeneous diseases with demonstrated (epi)genetic causes. The actual classification is based on the presence or absence of specific clinical and biochemical signs together with an in vivo response to exogenous PTH and the results of an in vitro assay to measure Gsa protein activity. However, this classification disregards other related diseases such as acrodysostosis (ACRDYS) or progressive osseous heteroplasia (POH), as well as recent findings of clinical and genetic/epigenetic background of the different subtypes. Therefore, the EuroPHP network decided to develop a new classification that encompasses all disorders with impairments in PTH and/or PTHrP cAMP-mediated pathway. DESIGN AND METHODS Extensive review of the literature was performed. Several meetings were organised to discuss about a new, more effective and accurate way to describe disorders caused by abnormalities of the PTH/PTHrP signalling pathway. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS After determining the major and minor criteria to be considered for the diagnosis of these disorders, we proposed to group them under the term 'inactivating PTH/PTHrP signalling disorder' (iPPSD). This terminology: (i) defines the common mechanism responsible for all diseases; (ii) does not require a confirmed genetic defect; (iii) avoids ambiguous terms like 'pseudo' and (iv) eliminates the clinical or molecular overlap between diseases. We believe that the use of this nomenclature and classification will facilitate the development of rationale and comprehensive international guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of iPPSDs.

Abstract
Pseudohypoparathyroidism exemplifies an unusual form of hormone resistance as the underlying molecular defect is a partial deficiency of the α subunit of the stimulatory G protein (Gsα), a key regulator of the cAMP signalling pathway, rather than of the parathyroid hormone (PTH) receptor itself. Despite the first description of this disorder dating back to 1942, later findings have unveiled complex epigenetic alterations in addition to classic mutations in GNAS underpining the molecular basis of the main subtypes of pseudohypoparathyroidism. Moreover, mutations in PRKAR1A and PDE4D, which encode proteins crucial for Gsα-cAMP-mediated signalling, have been found in patients with acrodysostosis. As acrodysostosis, a disease characterized by skeletal malformations and endocrine disturbances, shares clinical and molecular characteristics with pseudohypoparathyroidism, making a differential diagnosis and providing genetic counselling to patients and families is a challenge for endocrinologists. Accumulating data on the genetic and clinical aspects of this group of diseases highlight the limitation of the current classification system and prompt the need for a new definition as well as for new diagnostic and/or therapeutic algorithms. This Review discusses both the current understanding and future challenges for the clinical and molecular diagnosis, classification and treatment of pseudohypoparathyroidism.

Abstract
The cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) intracellular signaling pathway mediates the physiological effects of several hormones and neurotransmitters, acting by the activation of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and several downstream intracellular effectors, including the heterotrimeric stimulatory G-protein (Gs), the cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA), and cAMP-specific phosphodiesterases (PDEs). Defective G-protein-mediated signaling has been associated with an increasing number of disorders, including Albright hereditary osteodistrophy (AHO) and pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP), a heterogeneous group of rare genetic metabolic disorders resulting from molecular defects at the GNAS locus. Moreover, mutations in PRKAR1A and PDE4D genes have been recently detected in patients with acrodysostosis (ACRDYS), showing a skeletal and endocrinological phenotype partially overlapping with AHO/PHP. Despite the high detection rate of molecular defects by currently available molecular approaches, about 30% of AHO/PHP patients still lack a molecular diagnosis, hence the need to screen patients negative for GNAS epi/genetic defects also for chromosomal regions and genes associated with diseases that undergo differential diagnosis with PHP. According to the growing knowledge on Gsα-cAMP signaling-linked disorders, we investigated our series of patients (n = 81) with a clinical diagnosis of PHP/AHO but negative for GNAS anomalies for the presence of novel genetic variants at PRKAR1A and PDE4D genes. Our work allowed the detection of 8 novel missense variants affecting genes so far associated with ACRDYS in 9 patients. Our data further confirm the molecular and clinical overlap among these disorders. We present the data collected from a large series of patients and a brief review of the literature in order to compare our findings with already published data; to look for PRKAR1A/PDE4D mutation spectrum, recurrent mutations, and mutation hot spots; and to identify specific clinical features associated with ACRDYS that deserve surveillance during follow-up. © 2016 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.
