Inheritance[edit]
A mother who has inherited pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism from her father may in turn pass along pseudohypoparathyroidism 1A to her children as the imprinting pattern on the inherited paternal chromosome will be changed to the maternal pattern in the mother's ovum during meiosis.
 
Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism and pseudohypoparathyroidism both involve the same GNAS gene,[9] but pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism has normal calcium homeostasis because of the normal maternal allele in the kidney.[10]
 
Linguistic significance[edit]
At 30 letters, the English name of the disorder is one of the candidates for being the longest word in English.[11]
