Abstrakt: Objectives: Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP1B) is most commonly caused by epigenetic defects resulting in loss of methylation at the GNAS locus, although deletions of STX16 leading to GNAS methylation abnormalities have been previously reported. The phenotype of this disorder is variable and can include hormonal resistances and severe infantile obesity with hyperphagia. A possible time relationship between the onset of obesity and endocrinopathies has been previously reported but remains unclear. Understanding of the condition's natural history is limited, partly due to a scarcity of literature, especially in children.
Case Presentation: We report three siblings with autosomal dominant PHP1B caused by a deletion in STX16 who presented with early childhood onset PTH-resistance with normocalcemia with a progressive nature, accompanied by TSH-resistance and severe infantile obesity with hyperphagia in some, not all of the affected individuals.
Conclusions: PHP1B from a STX16 deletion displays intrafamilial phenotypic variation. It is a novel cause of severe infantile obesity, which is not typically included in commercially available gene panels but must be considered in the genetic work-up. Finally, it does not seem to have a clear time relationship between the onset of obesity and hormonal resistance.
