Abstract
Parathyroid adenoma is the main cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. The genetic basis of the disease is still unclear. Vitamin D receptor (VDR) is involved in parathormone regulation. The aim of this study is to evaluate Vitamin D receptor expression in sporadic parathyroid adenoma. Fifty-one patients with parathyroid adenoma and 51 healthy volunteers were enrolled in the study and genetic and immunohistochemical studies were conducted. VDR polymorphism TaqI was correlated with parathyroid adenoma development, while VDR stained positive in immunohistochemical study. Our study suggests VDR as a major contributor to sporadic parathyroid adenoma formation in Greek population.
期刊介绍:
Updates in Surgery (UPIS) has been founded in 2010 as the official journal of the Italian Society of Surgery. It’s an international, English-language, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the surgical sciences. Its main goal is to offer a valuable update on the most recent developments of those surgical techniques that are rapidly evolving, forcing the community of surgeons to a rigorous debate and a continuous refinement of standards of care. In this respect position papers on the mostly debated surgical approaches and accreditation criteria have been published and are welcome for the future.
Beside its focus on general surgery, the journal draws particular attention to cutting edge topics and emerging surgical fields that are publishing in monothematic issues guest edited by well-known experts.
Updates in Surgery has been considering various types of papers: editorials, comprehensive reviews, original studies and technical notes related to specific surgical procedures and techniques on liver, colorectal, gastric, pancreatic, robotic and bariatric surgery.
