Abstract
BACKGROUND Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) is caused by heterozygous inactivating mutations in GNAS. Patients with maternally-inherited mutations develop pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1A (PHP1A) with multi-hormone resistance and aberrant craniofacial and skeletal development among other abnormalities. Chiari malformation type 1 (CM1), a condition in which brain tissue extends into the spinal canal when the skull is too small, has been reported in isolated cases of PHP1A. It has been hypothesized to be associated with growth hormone (GH) deficiency. Given the adverse clinical sequelae that can occur if CM1 goes unrecognized, we investigated the previously undetermined prevalence of CM1, as well as any potential correlations with GH status, given the known increased prevalence of GH deficiency in PHP1A. We also investigated these metrics for low lying cerebellar tonsils (LLCT), defined as tonsillar descent less than 5 mm below the foramen magnum. In addition, we investigated possible correlations of CM1/LLCT with advanced hand/wrist bone ages and craniofacial abnormalities known to occur in PHP1A to determine whether premature chondrocyte differentiation and/or aberrant craniofacial development could be potential etiologies of CM1/LLCT through both human studies and investigations of our AHO mouse model. METHODS We examined patients with PHP1A in our clinic and noticed CM1 more frequently than expected. Therefore, we set out to determine the true prevalence of CM1 and LLCT in a cohort of 54 mutation-confirmed PHP1A participants who had clinically-indicated brain imaging. We examined potential correlations with GH status, clinical features, biological sex, genotype, and hand/wrist bone age determinations. In addition, we investigated the craniofacial development in our mouse model of AHO (Gnas E1+/-m) by histologic analyses, dynamic histomorphometry, and micro-computerized tomographic imaging (MCT) in order to determine potential etiologies of CM1/LLCT in PHP1A. RESULTS In our cohort of PHP1A, the prevalence of CM1 is 10.8%, which is at least 10-fold higher than in the general population. If LLCT is included, the prevalence increases to 21.7%. We found no correlation with GH status, biological sex, genotype, or hand/wrist bone age. Through investigations of our Gnas E1+/-m mice, the correlate to PHP1A, we identified a smaller cranial vault and increased cranial dome angle with evidence of hyperostosis due to increased osteogenesis. We also demonstrated that there was premature closure of the spheno-occipital synchondrosis (SOS), a cartilaginous structure essential to the development of the cranial base. These findings lead to craniofacial abnormalities and could contribute to CM1 and LLCT development in PHP1A. CONCLUSION The prevalence of CM1 is at least 10-fold higher in PHP1A compared to the general population and 20-fold higher when including LLCT. This is independent of the GH deficiency that is found in approximately two-thirds of patients with PHP1A. In light of potential serious consequences of CM1, clinicians should have a low threshold for brain imaging. Investigations of our AHO mouse model revealed aberrant cranial formation including a smaller cranium, increased cranial dome angle, hyperostosis, and premature SOS closure rates, providing a potential etiology for the increased prevalence of CM1 and LLCT in PHP1A.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP, OMIM #103580) is a very rare disease (incidence 0.3-1/100,000). Heterozygous inactivating mutations involving the maternal GNAS exons 1-13 that encodes the alpha subunit of the stimulatory G protein (Gsα) cause inactivating parathyroid hormone (PTH)/PTHrP signalling disorder type 2 (iPPSD2 or PHP type 1A), which is characterized by Albright hereditary osteodystrophy and resistance to multiple hormones that act through the Gsα signalling pathway (including PTH, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone). To date, little information is available on craniofacial features in patients with PHP. The small number of patients studied in previous reports as well as the lack of molecular characterization of the patients may have precluded the detection of specific orofacial manifestations in the different PHP subtypes. MATERIALS/METHODS We conducted a systematic analysis of dental and craniofacial features in 19 patients with iPPSD2 and maternal GNAS inactivating mutations to assess the frequency and specificity of the anomalies. RESULTS Facial examinations showed reduced vertical, sagittal, and transverse development of the mid-facial structures. Intraoral and radiographic examinations revealed that 89 per cent of the patients had at least one dental anomaly, including tooth submergence leading to severe infraocclusion in 83 per cent of cases. Craniofacial analysis of lateral cephalometric radiographs also showed a significant alteration in the development of the cranial base and maxillary and mandibular structures in these patients. CONCLUSIONS Patients with iPPSD2 and maternal GNAS mutations had specific craniofacial alterations and dental abnormalities. These specific defects should be assessed in order to provide appropriate dental and orthodontic care to these patients.

Recommendations for Diagnosis and Treatment of Pseudohypoparathyroidism and Related Disorders: An Updated Practical Tool for Physicians and Patients. Horm Res Paediatr 2020; 93:182-196. [PMID: 32756064 PMCID: PMC8140671 DOI: 10.1159/000508985] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2019] [Accepted: 05/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Patients affected by pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) or related disorders are characterized by physical findings that may include brachydactyly, a short stature, a stocky build, early-onset obesity, ectopic ossifications, and neurodevelopmental deficits, as well as hormonal resistance most prominently to parathyroid hormone (PTH). In addition to these alterations, patients may develop other hormonal resistances, leading to overt or subclinical hypothyroidism, hypogonadism and growth hormone (GH) deficiency, impaired growth without measurable evidence for hormonal abnormalities, type 2 diabetes, and skeletal issues with potentially severe limitation of mobility. PHP and related disorders are primarily clinical diagnoses. Given the variability of the clinical, radiological, and biochemical presentation, establishment of the molecular diagnosis is of critical importance for patients. It facilitates management, including prevention of complications, screening and treatment of endocrine deficits, supportive measures, and appropriate genetic counselling. Based on the first international consensus statement for these disorders, this article provides an updated and ready-to-use tool to help physicians and patients outlining relevant interventions and their timing. A life-long coordinated and multidisciplinary approach is recommended, starting as far as possible in early infancy and continuing throughout adulthood with an appropriate and timely transition from pediatric to adult care.
