Overview

All types of pseudohypoparathyroidism and associated parathyroid resistance syndromes are rare diseases.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence

  • In Japan, the prevalence of pseudohypoparathyroidism ranges from a low of 0.26 per 100,000 persons to a high of 0.42 per 100,000 persons with an average prevalence of 0.34 per 100,000 persons.[1]
  • In Italy, the estimated prevalence of Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1a, pseudohypoparathyroidism type1b, and pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism is 0.67 per 100,000.[2]

Age

  • Patients with pseudohypoparthyroidism type 1a and type 1c present in the second decade with physical features of Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy.[2]
  • Neonatal screening can detect patients with severe hypoparathyroidism in severe cases.[2]

Race

  • There is no racial predilection to pseudohypoparathyroidism.

Gender

  • The prevalence and incidence of pseudohypoparathyroidism is more common in women than in men.
