Abstract excerpt
Familial hyperparathyroidism, a disease of the parathyroid glands, may occur in conjunction with pituitary and pancreatic tumors (multiple endocrine neoplasia type I), kidney and bone tumors (hyperparathyroidism jaw tumor syndrome), or alone (familial isolated hyperparathyroidism). This study describes the development and validation of rapid scanning for mutations in two tumor suppressor genes linked to familial...
