This is a clinical presentation of a healthy 12-year-old African-American male who had symptomatic hypocalcemia during a growth spurt that resolved after reaching a stable height. He had clinical findings consistent with Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) with hypocalcemia, hyperphospatemia, and increased parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentration. We hypothesize that his family might have a hitherto unreported autosomal dominant PHP-Ib that may or may not be linked to the GNAS locus.
