Abstract
Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) and neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism (NSHPT) are genetically determined variants of primary hyperparathyroidism. FHH usually has a benign course, and patients do not require treatment, whereas NSHPT is a severe disorder often requiring early parathyroidectomy for young patients to survive. Recent discoveries in the genetic basis and new findings in therapeutic approaches have led to a great interest in these rare diseases.
期刊介绍:
A series of integrated overviews on cutting-edge topics
New sophisticated technologies and methodological approaches in diagnostics and therapeutics have led to significant improvements in identifying and characterizing an increasing number of medical conditions, which is particularly true for all aspects of endocrine and metabolic dysfunctions. Novel insights in endocrine physiology and pathophysiology allow for new perspectives in clinical management and thus lead to the development of molecular, personalized treatments. In view of this, the active interplay between basic scientists and clinicians has become fundamental, both to provide patients with the most appropriate care and to advance future research.
