OBJECTIVE: Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is a common endocrine disorder. Several loci of genetic interest have been identified in parathyroid tumours, including the MEN1 gene locus at 11q13; the HPT-JT region at 1q21-q32; and a putative tumour suppressor gene on 1p. We analysed these intervals, which harbour known genes or putative loci associated with familial hyperparathyroidism, in order to clarify the involvement...
