Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in the MEN1 region on chromosome 11q13 and MEN1 gene mutations have been found in a subset of sporadic parathyroid tumors. The question of whether these genetic abnormalities in the parathyroid tumors might influence the clinical and biochemical characteristics of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) remains to be elucidated. The aim of the present study was to correlate the presence of...
