Abstract:
Amongst hyperparathyroidism-related syndromes, hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumour syndrome is one of the least common and relatively unknown but its clinical and genetic aspects are not less interesting or important. With the recent identification of its genes, we can now better characterize the disease, both clinically and genetically, which will certainly impact the field of endocrinology and oncology. In this article, we review the clinico-pathological features and genetic basis of this syndrome with the hope that it will create awareness and interest in this disease amongst clinicians and basic scientists.

The Parathyroid Glands
Oxyphil cells, whose functions remain elusive, emerge during late puberty, adding a layer of complexity to the parathyroid gland's intricacies. In contrast, principal parathyroid cells undertake a vital role by producing...

Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...
