Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Interacting Protein (<i>AIP</i>) Mutations Occur Rarely in Sporadic Parathyroid Adenomas

Abstract

The AIP gene is rarely involved in parathyroid adenomas, but the germline nature of the mutations suggests that it might predispose to primary hyperparathyroidism. MEN1 gene alterations occur in a substantial proportion of sporadic parathyroid adenomas.
