Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a series of diseases related to pathological changes and neurocognitive and endocrine abnormalities, mainly due to the GNAS mutation on chromosome 20q13.2, which weakens receptor‐mediated hormone signal transduction. Considering its complex genetic and epigenetic characteristics, GNAS may produce complex clinical phenotypes in families or sporadic cases. This study presented a case of familial PHP caused by a deletion mutation in the 20q13.2 region.
