Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is a heterogeneous disease in its clinical course and severity. Previous studies have suggested an association between the clinical severity of pHPT and the genotypes of vitamin D receptor, oestrogen receptors and PTH molecules. The Ca-sensing receptor (CaR) is activated by an extracellular calcium ion and controls PTH secretion, and thus polymorphisms of CaR might be...
