Allelic loss in clinically and screening-detected primary hyperparathyroidism
OBJECTIVE: Parathyroid adenomas frequently harbour deletions of genomic DNA at chromosome regions 1p, 6q and 11q. In this study we related clinical characteristics in 56 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) to loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in these chromosome regions.DESIGN: LOH analysis was performed on 56 sporadic parathyroid tumours using a total of 18 microsatellite markers for chro
