1. Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 : clinical and molecular characterization
Sammanfattning : This thesis is based on clinicopathologic and genetic studies of MEN1 and MEN1-like syndromes. Linkage to the MENl locus in chromosome 11q13 was confirmed in the largest known MEN1 family and 5 Swedish MEN1 families. An accuracy of >99. LÄS MER
2. Genetic background of familial primary hyperparathyroidism
Sammanfattning : In this thesis the aim has been to identify and characterise gene(s) involved in familial primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). In multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1), the hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumour syndrome (HPT-JT) and familial isolated hyperparathyroidism (FIHP), in which primary hyperparathyroidism is seen in most or almost all gene carriers.

3. Molecular mechanisms of tumor development in hyperparathyroidism
Sammanfattning : Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) were used in an attempt to identify recurrent chromosomal alterations in different types of parathyroid tumors. These included familial and sporadic, benign and malignant, as well as primary, irradiation associated and secondary tumors. LÄS MER
4. Application of genetic analyses in studies of syndromic and non-syndromic cleft lip and palate
Sammanfattning : Linkage analysis is one of the first and essential steps in the localization of human disease genes. In this study, the method was first applied in mapping of the disease in two families with isolated hyperparathyroidism (FIHP) to the hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor (HPT-JT) syndrome locus at 1q21-q32.

5. Localization and characterization of genes involved in parathyroid tumor development
Sammanfattning : The overall goal of this thesis has been to identify new genes and characterize them regarding the involvement in parathyroid tumor development. The parathyroid glands are responsible for the control of calcium homeostasis. Parathyroid tumors usually have a benign growth pattern, with less than 1% of the tumors being malignant. LÄS MER
