Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Mutations of HRPT2 are frequent in sporadic parathyroid carcinomas and central to their pathogenesis. However, the potential diagnostic utility of HRPT2 mutation status to distinguish between parathyroid carcinoma and adenoma hinges on the frequency of HRPT2 mutations in benign adenomas. Even a low rate of HRPT2 mutation in adenomas would greatly alter diagnostic specificity, because adenomas are far...
