Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Glial cells missing 2 (GCM2) gene encodes a parathyroid-specific transcription factor. We assessed GCM2 gene sequence in patients with isolated hypoparathyroidism (IH). DESIGN: Case-control study. METHODS: Complete DNA sequencing of the GCM2 gene including its exons, promoter, and 5' and 3' UTRs was performed in 24/101 patients with IH. PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism was used to detect a...
