Abstract excerpt
Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common endocrine disease that also occurs in a number of inherited disorders, including multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1). Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in the MEN1 region on chromosome 11q13 has been found in 30% of sporadic parathyroid tumors, making the recently cloned MEN1 gene a prime candidate for involvement in parathyroid tumorigenesis. Using LOH and single strand...
