A

PTH-independent hypercalcemia

31
Q

______ carcinoma is common cause of hypercalcemia

A

squamous cell carcinoma

32

Rare, decreased PTH due to autoimmune disorders, DiGeorge syndrome and surgical excision

A

hypoparathyroidism

33
Q
A

DiGeorge syndrome

34
Q

Symptoms of hypoparathyroidism but with an increased PTH level
End organ resistance to PTH, inactive or decreased expression of PTH receptors
GNAS gene mutation coupled to PTH receptor
Short stature, round (full) face, brachydactyly
