Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Typical nonfamilial (sporadic) parathyroid adenomas are common endocrine tumors for which no predisposing germline DNA variants and only a few clonally altered genes that drive parathyroid tumorigenesis have been identified. CDKN1B, encoding cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27(kip1), has recently been implicated in a multiple endocrine tumor phenotype in rats and, rarely, in a human familial MEN1...
