Abstract
We report a12-year-old child with pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) whose mother had
pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism. The child had low serum calcium, high phosphorous and
high parathormone (PTH) levels. PHP occurs due to a defect in the guanine nucleotide
binding protein (G protein). She also had hypothyroidism which is known to utilize the G
protein pathway. She developed T 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) while under follow-up. This is
arguably the first time T1DM has been reported associated with PHP.
