Inactivating mutations of the calcium-sensing receptor gene (CaR) might explain abnormalities in the regulation of both parathyroid cell proliferation and parathyroid hormone secretion. In a previous study, using RNAse A protection assay, no mutations were identified in a series of parathyroid specimens from patients with primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism, but the analysis was incomplete, since part of...
