The review of literature details the issues of genetics, the specific features of inheritance, the clinical picture and treatment of pseudohypoparathyroidisms (PHPT). In practice, clinicians more frequently deal with type 1 PHPT and the diagnosis of this type creates no significant problems. However, despite the low prevalence of the other types of PHPT - 1b, 1c, and 2, the diseases may run with noticeably clinical symptoms and present a significant problem in the context of diagnosis and treatment. This review may be of concern to both clinicians and geneticists who are interested in this problem.
