Monoclonality and Abnormal Parathyroid Hormone Genes in Parathyroid Adenomas

Arnold, Andrew, Staunton, Catherine E., Kim, Hyung Goo, Gaz, Randall D., Kronenberg, Henry M.·1988·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

Previous work based on the relative tissue content of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase isoenzymes suggested that parathyroid adenomas, like primary hyperplasia, may be multicellular (not clonal) in origin. We have reexamined this issue by using two independent molecular genetic methods. We report tumor-cell-specific restriction-fragment-length alterations involving the parathyroid hormone gene from two human parathyroid adenomas. These abnormal restriction fragments indicate that in each case a clonal proliferation of cells was present and also suggest that DNA alterations involving the parathyroid hormone locus may be important in the tumorigenesis or clonal evolution of some parathyroid adenomas. In addition, we used a restriction-fragment-length polymorphism in an X-linked gene (hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase) to examine the clonality of eight parathyroid adenomas in women. Of these eight adenomas, six had the DNA hybridization pattern of monoclonality, and two had an equivocal pattern. None of five hyperplastic parathyroid glands had a monoclonal pattern. We conclude that some (and perhaps many) single parathyroid adenomas are monoclonal neoplasms. Our observations suggest that there is a fundamental biologic difference between parathyroid adenomas and primary hyperplasia--a difference that could prove useful in distinguishing these entities clinically.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
