[Genetic profiling of parathyroid tumours: lifting the veil of mystery].

Abstract excerpt

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disorder characterized by autonomous secretion of parathyroid hormone by altered parathyroid glands. In most cases PHPT is a sporadic disease, 5-10% of observations are genetically determined syndromal and non-syndromal forms. Studies of families with hereditary forms of PHPT have led to the discovery of key oncosuppressor genes and proto-oncogenes whose...
