Cataract

A cataract is a cloudy area in the lens of the eye that leads to a decrease in vision of the eye.

See X-linked recessive hypoparathyroidism and Cataract

Chvostek sign

The Chvostek sign is a clinical sign that someone may have a low blood calcium level (a decreased serum calcium, called hypocalcemia).

See X-linked recessive hypoparathyroidism and Chvostek sign

Heart failure

Heart failure (HF), also known as congestive heart failure (CHF), is a syndrome caused by an impairment in the heart's ability to fill with and pump blood.

See X-linked recessive hypoparathyroidism and Heart failure

Heredity

Heredity, also called inheritance or biological inheritance, is the passing on of traits from parents to their offspring; either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction, the offspring cells or organisms acquire the genetic information of their parents.

See X-linked recessive hypoparathyroidism and Heredity

Hypoparathyroidism

Hypoparathyroidism is decreased function of the parathyroid glands with underproduction of parathyroid hormone (PTH). X-linked recessive hypoparathyroidism and Hypoparathyroidism are Rare diseases.

See X-linked recessive hypoparathyroidism and Hypoparathyroidism

Papilledema

Papilledema or papilloedema is optic disc swelling that is caused by increased intracranial pressure due to any cause.

See X-linked recessive hypoparathyroidism and Papilledema

Parathyroid gland

Parathyroid glands are small endocrine glands in the neck of humans and other tetrapods.

See X-linked recessive hypoparathyroidism and Parathyroid gland

Parathyroid hormone

Parathyroid hormone (PTH), also called parathormone or parathyrin, is a peptide hormone secreted by the parathyroid glands that regulates the serum calcium concentration through its effects on bone, kidney, and intestine.

See X-linked recessive hypoparathyroidism and Parathyroid hormone

Paresthesia

Paresthesia is an abnormal sensation of the skin (tingling, pricking, chilling, burning, numbness) with no apparent physical cause.

See X-linked recessive hypoparathyroidism and Paresthesia

Trousseau sign of latent tetany

Trousseau sign of latent tetany is a medical sign observed in patients with low calcium.

See X-linked recessive hypoparathyroidism and Trousseau sign of latent tetany

X chromosome

The X chromosome is one of the two sex chromosomes in many organisms, including mammals, and is found in both males and females.

See X-linked recessive hypoparathyroidism and X chromosome

X-linked recessive inheritance

X-linked recessive inheritance is a mode of inheritance in which a mutation in a gene on the X chromosome causes the phenotype to be always expressed in males (who are necessarily homozygous for the gene mutation because they have one X and one Y chromosome) and in females who are homozygous for the gene mutation, see zygosity.
