Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A subset of familial isolated primary hyperparathyroidism (FIHP) is a variant of hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumour syndrome (HPT-JT). AIM/PATIENTS AND METHODS: We investigated the involvement of the HRPT2, MEN1 and CASR genes in 11 provisional FIHP families and two HPT-JT families. RESULTS: Germline mutations of HRPT2 were found in two of the 11 FIHP families and one of the two HPT-JT families. One FIHP...
