<unk>  is a genetic disorder that is similar to hypoparathyroidism, but which results from the body's lack of response to parathyroid hormone rather than decreased production of the substance. There are three types of<unk> , type 1a, type 1b and type 2. All forms of<unk>  are very rare and are caused by abnormal genes. Usual signs and symptoms include numbness, tetany, seizures, cataracts and dental problems. Patients with<unk>  type 1a, which is also called Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy, may show signs of short stature. Blood tests of minerals, genetic testing and head MRI may help diagnose the disorder. Treatment for<unk>  includes taking calcium carbonate and vitamin D supplements to normalize blood levels of calcium and phosphorus.
