Identification of de Novo Germline Mutations in the HRPT2 Gene in Two Apparently Sporadic Cases with Challenging Parathyroid Tumor Diagnoses [PDF]
, 2011 The diagnosis of parathyroid carcinomas is often difficult. HRPT2 mutations have been identified in familial [hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor (HPT-JT) syndrome] and sporadic parathyroid carcinomas, supporting that HRPT2 mutations may confer a malignant ...

Clinical and molecular genetics of parathyroid neoplasms [PDF]
Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2010 Primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) results from the excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone from parathyroid tumours. While most HPT is sporadic, it is associated with a familial syndrome in a minority of cases. The study of these syndromes has helped define the pathophysiology of both familial and sporadic parathyroid neoplasms.
