Abstract excerpt
Genetic contributions to bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover are well known. In the present study, we analyzed the relationship between polymorphism of parathyroid hormone (PTH)/PTH-related peptide (PTHrP) receptor gene existing in exon M7 and the clinical characteristics of primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). PTH/PTHrP receptor genotypes were analyzed in 92 pHPT patients by direct sequence to determine...
