- • Current investigations are focused principally upon the inclusion of subjects with, or suspected of having, hypocalcemia likely due to a resistance to parathyroid hormone, including subjects who have a diagnosis, or likely diagnosis, of pseudohypoparathyroidism or pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism.
