GNAS is a complex imprinted gene encoding the alpha-subunit of the stimulatory heterotrimeric G protein (Gsα). GNAS gives rise to additional gene products that exhibit exclusively maternal or paternal expression, such as XLαs, a large variant of Gsα that shows exclusively paternal expression and is partly identical to the latter. Gsα itself is expressed biallelicaly in most tissues, although the expression occurs predominantly from the maternal allele in a small set of tissues, such as renal proximal tubules. Inactivating mutations in Gsα-coding GNAS exons are responsible for Albright’s hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO), which refers to a constellation of physical and developmental disorders including obesity, short stature, brachydactyly, cognitive impairment, and heterotopic ossification. Patients with Gsα mutations can present with AHO in the presence or absence of end-organ resistance to multiple hormones including parathyroid hormone. Maternal Gsα mutations lead to AHO with hormone resistance (i.e. pseudohypoparathyroidism type-Ia), whereas paternal mutations cause AHO alone (i.e. pseudo-pseudohypoparathyroidism). Heterotopic ossification associated with AHO develops through intramembranous bone formation and is limited to dermis and subcutis. In rare cases carrying Gsα mutations, however, ossifications progress into deep connective tissue and skeletal muscle, a disorder termed progressive osseous heteroplasia (POH). Here I briefly review the genetic, clinical, and molecular aspects of these disorders caused by inactivating GNAS mutations, with particular emphasis on heterotopic ossification.
