Pseudohypoparathyroidism is an X-linked genetic disorder that is associated with normal or enlarged parathyroid glands and parathyroid target organ insensitivity. This results in hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and elevated serum parathyroid hormone levels, leading to symptoms such as muscle cramps, spasms, and tetany. Other features of the disorder may include short stature, obesity, and developmental delays.
