Familial Clustering Identified in Primary Hyperparathyroidism

Familial Clustering in Primary Hyperparathyroidism

Research has shown that first-degree relatives of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism are at a higher risk of developing the condition.

A study published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society found that these relatives are more likely to have primary hyperparathyroidism, but the link to cancer risk is less clear.

First-degree relatives of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism are at greater risk of having the condition themselves, but a link to cancer risk among parents, siblings, and children is less certain.

Author's summary: Familial clustering is identified in primary hyperparathyroidism.
