| Abstract | Although the molecular basis of pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1b (PHP type 1b) remains unknown, a defect in imprinting at the GNAS1 locus has been suggested by the consistent finding of paternal-specific patterns of DNA methylation on maternally inherited GNAS1 alleles. To characterize the relationship between the genetic and epigenetic defects in PHP type 1b, we analyzed allelic expression and methylation of CpG islands within exon 1A of GNAS1 in patients with sporadic PHP type 1b and in affected and unaffected individuals from five multigenerational kindreds with PHP type 1b. All subjects with resistance to parathyroid hormone (PTH) showed loss of methylation of the exon 1A region on the maternal GNAS1 allele and/or biallelic expression of exon 1A-containing transcripts, consistent with an imprinting defect. Paternal transmission of the disease-associated haplotype was associated with normal patterns of GNAS1 methylation and PTH responsiveness. We found that affected and unaffected siblings in one kindred had inherited the same GNAS1 allele from their affected mother, evidence for dissociation between the genetic and epigenetic GNAS1 defects. The absence of the epigenetic defect in subjects who have inherited a defective maternal GNAS1 allele suggests that the genetic mutation may be incompletely penetrant, and it indicates that the epigenetic defect, not the genetic mutation, leads to renal resistance to PTH in PHP type 1b. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
