[Hereditary variants of primary hyperparathyroidism--MEN1, MEN2, HPT-JT, FHH, FIHPT].

[familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia]

The challenge in diagnosing primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is to detect hereditary cases before first surgery. About 5% of cases are hereditary and integral component of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 and 2 (MEN1/MEN2), hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome (HPT-JT), familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH), and familial isolated hyperparathyroidism (FIHPT). Aim of this study was to evaluate similarities and differences in hereditary varieties of HPT.80 patients with hereditary HPT were evaluated in a retrospective analysis between 1980 and 2010 concerning clinical findings, family history, therapy, biochemical and molecular-genetic findings and follow-up.80 patients with hereditary HPT are described, 52 belonged to MEN1, 15 to MEN2, 7 to HPT-JT, 4 to FHH and 2 to FIHPT kindreds. Penetrance of HPT was highest in MEN1 (85%), followed by HPT-JT (64%), FHH (28.5%), and MEN2 (8%). Youngest age at diagnosis of HPT was 7 and 16 years in the MEN2/HPT-JT group. Serum Calcium was highest in the HPT-JT group (3.6 mM), recurrencies of HPT were highest in the MEN1 group (40.5%). Parathyroid cancer solely occurred in the HPT-JT group. In single cases HPT occurs in FHH.Among the different varieties of hereditary HPT MEN1-HPT is most frequent and carries the utmost recurrence rate. Early diagnosis of HPT-JT syndrome is important because of the occurrence of parathyroid cancer. Single cases of HPT in FHH are described. Preoperative diagnosis of hereditary HPT has therapeutic consequences concerning extent of surgery and implications concerning patient and family care.
