Official Title: Gene Expression in Hyperparathyroidism: Identifying Molecular Differences in MEN1 Patients Versus Young MEN1 Negative Patients

Brief Summary:

Objectives:

1. To better define the differences in molecular genetics of parathyroid tumors in patients with MEN1, single gland parathyroid disease in patients less than 50 years old and single gland disease in patients greater than 50 years old.
2. To better define the incidence of HRPT2 mutation in young patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and determine whether routine testing in these patients is indicated.
