Overview
The cause of most parathyroid adenomas is unknown. However, about 10% are said to be hereditary. It can be the result of multiple genetic mutations in genes such as the calcium-sensing receptor gene, HRPT2 gene (CDC73 gene), Cyclin D1 gene (CCND1)/PRAD1 gene, MEN1 gene, and RET gene.
Causes
Solitary parathyroid adenoma is the leading cause of primary hyperparathyroidism in 80% to 85% of cases. However, parathyroid adenoma is idiopathic in approximately 90% of the individuals.[1]
Genetic Causes
- Parathyroid adenoma can be caused by a mutation of the following genes.
- Calcium-sensing receptor gene
- HRPT2 gene (CDC73 gene)
- Cyclin D1 gene (CCND1)/PRAD1 gene
- MEN1 gene
- RET gene
