Mutational Analysis of ZFY in Sporadic Parathyroid Adenomas
Context The molecular pathogenesis of sporadic parathyroid adenomas is incompletely understood, with alterations in cyclin D1/PRAD1 and MEN1 most firmly established as genetic drivers. The gene encoding the X-linked zinc finger protein (ZFX) has recently been implicated in the pathogenesis of a subset of parathyroid adenomas after recurrent, hotspot-focused somatic mutations were identified. ZF...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA mutations in oxyphilic and chief cell parathyroid adenomas
BACKGROUND The potential pathogenetic significance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations in tumorigenesis is controversial. We hypothesized that benign tumorigenesis of a slowly replicating tissue like the human parathyroid might constitute an especially fertile ground on which a selective advantage conferred by mtDNA mutation could be manifested and might contribute to the oxyphilic phenotype...
متن کاملGenetic analyses of the HRPT2 gene in primary hyperparathyroidism: germline and somatic mutations in familial and sporadic parathyroid tumors.
We investigated the involvement of the HRPT2 gene by loss of heterozygosity analysis and direct sequencing in a kindred with hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome (HPT-JT) and three kindreds with familial isolated primary hyperparathyroidism (FIHP). Seven patients with sporadic parathyroid cancers and 35 with parathyroid adenomas with no family history of primary hyperparathyroidism or HPT-JT ...

متن کاملMolecular genetics of syndromic and non‐syndromic forms of parathyroid carcinoma
Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) may occur as part of a complex hereditary syndrome or an isolated (i.e., non-syndromic) non-hereditary (i.e., sporadic) endocrinopathy. Studies of hereditary and syndromic forms of PC, which include the hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome (HPT-JT), multiple endocrine neoplasia types 1 and 2 (MEN1 and MEN2), and familial isolated primary hyperparathyroidism (FIHP), ...
