Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 2 – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1650158822

This is a condition associated primarily with resistance to the parathyroid hormone. Type 2 lacks the physical appearance of type 1a. Since the genetic defect in type 2 is further down the signalling pathway than in type 1, there is a normal cAMP response to PTH stimulation despite the inherent abnormality in calcium regulation.
