Genetic Analyses of the<i>HRPT2</i>Gene in Primary Hyperparathyroidism: Germline and Somatic Mutations in Familial and Sporadic Parathyroid Tumors
1 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
We investigated the involvement of the HRPT2 gene by loss of heterozygosity analysis and direct sequencing in a kindred with hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome (HPT-JT) and three kindreds with familial isolated primary hyperparathyroidism (FIHP). Seven patients with sporadic parathyroid cancers and 35 with parathyroid adenomas with no family history of primary hyperparathyroidism or HPT-JT were also studied....
