Abstract excerpt
Parathyroid carcinoma is associated with mutations in the HRPT2/CDC73 gene and with decreased parafibromin and calcium-sensing receptor (CASR) expression, but in some cases establishing an unequivocal diagnosis remains a challenge. The aim of our study was to evaluate the prognostic value of CASR and parafibromin expression and of HRPT2/CDC73 mutations in patients with an established diagnosis of parathyroid...
