Along with the clinical characterisation of the disease, studies of molecular genetics have contributed to increased understanding of the etiology of pHPT. Genetic association studies have revealed that certain vitamin D receptor polymorphisms relate to the development of sporadic pHPT. A new type of familial pHPT was recently...
