Article Abstract
Pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ia (PHP Ia) is defined as a series of disorders characterized by multihormone resistance in end-organs and Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) phenotype. PHP Ia is caused by heterozygous inactivating mutations in GNAS, which encodes the stimulatory G-protein alpha subunit (Gsa). A patient with typical clinical manifestations of pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) (round face, short stature, centripetal obesity, brachydactyly, and multi-hormone resistance: parathyroid hormone (PTH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and gonadotropins) presented at our center. The sequence of the GNAS gene from the patient and her families revealed a novel missense mutation (Y318H) in the proband and her mother. An in vitro Gsa functional study showed that Gsa function was significantly impaired. These results stress the importance of GNAS gene investigation.

McCune-Albright syndrome with multiple hyperfunctional endocrinopathies: diagnosis, treatment, and long-term follow-up: a case report.

McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a triad of café-au-lait spots, fibrous dysplasia, and hyperfunctioning endocrinopathies, resulting from a mosaic mutation in the guanine nucleotide-binding protein (GNAS) gene. This case report presents the long-term follow-up of an eight-year-old girl diagnosed with MAS, who first presented at 22 months of age with skin pigmentation, hyperthyroidism, and precocious puberty, later developing additional features such as fibrous dysplasia and growth hormone excess. This complex presentation of MAS-featuring more than two hyperfunctioning endocrinopathies along with fibrous dysplasia-has rarely been described in the literature.

Background: Early-onset colorectal cancer (EO-CRC, ≤50 years of age) exhibits unique clinical and biological characteristics when compared with average-onset CRC (AO-CRC), but its overall molecular profile is still not well studied.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analysed 1209 patients with metastatic CRC profiled using FoundationOne® CDx, a clinically validated next-generation sequencing assay targeting 324 cancer-related genes. Patients were classified as EO-CRC (n = 298) or AO-CRC (n = 911).
Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1B mimicking gitelman syndrome: diagnostic pitfalls and molecular insights.

Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, The Second Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China.
Objective: Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1B (PHP1B), caused by abnormal methylation of the gene leading to parathyroid hormone (PTH) resistance, lacks Albright hereditary osteodystrophy features and is often misdiagnosed. PHP1B and Gitelman syndrome (GS) share overlapping features, including hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, and metabolic alkalosis, posing challenges in clinical differentiation. This study aimed to explore the clinical characteristics, diagnostic strategies, and therapeutic responses of PHP1B presenting with hypokalemia and to explicitly address the diagnostic challenge of differentiating it from GS.

Unlabelled: Malignant transformation of fibrous dysplasia in McCune-Albright syndrome is observed in less than 1% of cases, thus osteosarcoma is developing more frequently. According to the search in the PubMed database over the last 5 years, 13 publications were found, but none of them described cerebral cranium damage.
Material And Methods: A clinical observation of a 27-year-old patient with polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, skin manifestations and prolactin+HGH-secreting pituitary adenoma - McCune-Albright syndrome - without GNAS gene mutation is described.
