چکیده

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 were also studied. A germline heterozygous substitution G to A was found in the donor splice site of intron 1 in one of the three FIHP families. No mutations were identified in the HPT-JT kindred. A somatic HRPT2 mutation was found in four of seven patients with parathyroid cancers, two of which were unreported frameshift mutations (195insT and 195insA) in exon 2. Consistent with recent findings, two of seven patients with sporadic parathyroid cancer had germline mutations. Four adenomas showed loss of heterozygosity at HRPT2, whereas a somatic HRPT2 mutation was found in one. In conclusion, we provide additional evidence for a strong association between HRPT2 gene mutations and sporadic parathyroid cancer. The finding that two of the seven patients with sporadic parathyroid cancer carried an HRPT2 germline mutation suggests that they might have occult HPT-JT. Our results also confirm the need for testing HRPT2 gene in FIHP families.

HRPT2 mutations are associated with malignancy in sporadic parathyroid tumours.

BACKGROUND Hyperparathyroidism is a common endocrinopathy characterised by the formation of parathyroid tumours. In this study, we determine the role of the recently identified gene, HRPT2, in parathyroid tumorigenesis. METHODS Mutation analysis of HRPT2 was undertaken in 60 parathyroid tumours: five HPT-JT, three FIHP, three MEN 1, one MEN 2A, 25 sporadic adenomas, 17 hyperplastic glands, tw...

Identification and Functional Characterization of Three NoLS (Nucleolar Localisation Signals) Mutations of the CDC73 Gene

Hyperparathyroidism Jaw-Tumour Syndrome (HPT-JT) is characterized by primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), maxillary/mandible ossifying fibromas and by parathyroid carcinoma in 15% of cases. Inactivating mutations of the tumour suppressor CDC73/HRPT2 gene have been found in HPT-JT patients and also as genetic determinants of sporadic parathyroid carcinoma/atypical adenomas and, rarely, typical ad...

Familial isolated primary hyperparathyroidism due to HRPT2 mutation.

Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common endocrine disorder that is mostly caused by solitary tumors within the parathyroid glands. Characterized by early debut and higher frequency of multiple parathyroid masses, familial forms of primary hyperparathyroidism are caused by the already known mutations of: menin (MEN1 syndrome), RET proto-oncogene (MEN2 syndrome), HRPT2-parafibromin (hyperparathyr...

Clinical, genetic, and histopathologic investigation of CDC73-related familial hyperparathyroidism.

CDC73 (HRPT2) germline mutations are responsible for more than half of cases of hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome (HPT-JT) and for a subset of familial isolated HPT (FIHP). We performed a clinical, genetic, and histopathologic study in three unrelated Italian kindreds with HPT-JT and FIHP. We identified three germline inactivating mutations of the CDC73 gene in the probands and affected pa...

Identification of a germline mutation in the HRPT2 gene in a Chinese family with parathyroid carcinomas.

This study reported a family with primary hyperparathyroidism due to parathyroid carcinoma and investigated the pathological and genetic features of family members. Three members of the family had clinical manifestation of primary hyperparathyroidism and tumors in the neck. All three patients underwent parathyroidectomy, thyroidectomy and level-VI neck dissection and were definitively diagnosed...
