Overview
Historical Perspective
Until 1966 many asymptomatic hypercalcemic patients were identified to have familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, then Jackson and Boonstra described their first patient with hypercalcemia presumed to have hyperparathyroidism. He wasn't cured despite the removal of three and a half hyperplastic parathyroid glands. Subsequently, seventeen family members with hypercalcemia were identified in three generation.
