To aid clinicians in the investigation and management of children with hypoparathyroidism, we describe the phenotype of a 6-year-old child with hypoparathyroidism and short stature diagnosed with Kenny-Caffey syndrome (KCS) Type 2 and the subsequent response to growth hormone (GH) treatment.<h4>Case presentation</h4>The proband presented in the neonatal period with hypocalcemic seizures secondary to hypoparathyroidism. Here, GH1 is linked to Kenny-Caffey syndrome.
