Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy is a form of osteodystrophy,[4] and is classified as the phenotype of pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1A; this is a condition in which the body does not respond to parathyroid hormone.[1]

Signs and symptoms
edit
The disorder is characterized by the following:[1]
- Hypogonadism
- Brachydactyly syndrome
- Choroid plexus calcification
- Hypoplasia of dental enamel
- Full cheeks
- Hypocalcemic tetany
Individuals with Albright hereditary osteodystrophy exhibit short stature, characteristically shortened fourth and fifth metacarpals, rounded facies, and often mild intellectual deficiency.[5]
Genetics
editThis 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.[2]
Mechanism
editThe 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). Renal tubule cells only express maternal alleles (variant form of a gene).[6][7][8]
Diagnosis
editThe diagnosis of Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy is based on the following exams below:[9]
Treatment
editTreatment consists of maintaining normal levels of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D. Phosphate binders, supplementary calcium and vitamin D will be used as required.[3]
History
editThe disorder bears the name of Fuller Albright, who characterized it in 1942.[12] He was also responsible for naming it "Sebright bantam syndrome," after the Sebright bantam chicken, which demonstrates an analogous hormone insensitivity. Much less commonly, the term Martin-Albright syndrome is used, this refers to Eric Martin.[13]
