NCIt definition : A rare, autosomal dominant hereditary syndrome characterized by hypercalcemia, abnormally
high levels of parathyroid hormone, and isolated hyperfunctioning parathyroid tumors.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A rare inherited condition in which one or more tumors form in the parathyroid
glands (four pea-sized organs found on the thyroid) and cause them to make too much
parathyroid hormone. The increased parathyroid hormone causes a loss of calcium from
the bones and too much calcium in the blood.; NICHD: Primary hyperparathyroidism of autosomal dominant or recessive inheritance,
associated with mutation(s) in any of the following genes: MEN1 (encoding menin);
CASR (extracellular calcium-sensing receptor); or CDC73 (parafibromin), although many
cases have no identifiable mutation.;
