Question

which of the following is associated with childhood pseudohypoparathyroidism?
cretinism
a decrease in hormone production and secretion
achondroplasia
insensitive hormonal receptor sites

Explanation:

Pseudohypoparathyroidism is characterized by end - organ resistance to parathyroid hormone, which means the hormonal receptor sites are insensitive to the parathyroid hormone. Cretinism is related to thyroid hormone deficiency in childhood. A decrease in hormone production and secretion is not the main feature of pseudohypoparathyroidism. Achondroplasia is a skeletal disorder and not related to parathyroid function.

Answer:

D. Insensitive hormonal receptor sites
