Informations about the disease

Clinical Comment

n about 90% of cases, an early sign of parathyroid cancer is hyperparathyroidism with hypercalcemic crisis. Neurologic and psychiatric problems may develop, as well as renal and bone complications. Mutations in the CDC73 gene are found in up to 70% of parathyroid cancer cases. In about one-third of affected individuals with changes in this gene, the mutation is inherited. Parathyroid cancer occurs in 15% of individuals with hyperparathyroidism-pineal tumor syndrome and in 1% of patients with familial isolated hyperparathyroidism. Both conditions are also caused by mutations in the CDC73 gene. In rare cases, parathyroid cancer has also been found in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN1). Mutations in other genes may also contribute to the development of parathyroid cancer. A negative DNA result does not exclude the clinical diagnosis.
