Molecular genetics of hyperparathyroid disease

Abstract excerpt

Information on genetic abnormalities in primary hyperparathyroidism has accumulated gradually. Genetic alterations responsible for tumorigenesis have been identified in multiple endocrine neoplasia types 1 and 2. Point mutations in a calcium-sensing receptor gene were recently found to be responsible for familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia and neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism. Evidence has been provided that...
