Brief Summary:
This study will test an investigational drug, theophylline, in children with pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1a (PHP1a). This study involves a 3 day visit to the Vanderbilt Clinical Research Center.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Pseudohypoparathyroidism Type 1a Albright Hereditary Osteodystrophy Drug: Theophylline Phase 2

Detailed Description:
Study measures will be done at baseline and during a 24h infusion of IV theophylline. Theophylline levels will be drawn to ensure therapeutic dosing and to monitor for toxicity. Measures include laboratory values, response to PTH infusion and resting energy expenditure.
