Background/Aim:
Almost 15% of patients with sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism (sPHPT) present with multiple gland disease (MGD). The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of two polymorphisms of the hsa-miR-30e, in sPHPT tumorigenesis.
Patients And Methods:
One-hundred twenty sPHPT patients, 77 presenting a single adenoma and 43 with MGD, and 54 healthy controls were genotyped. The SNPs were identified using the allele-specific PCR methodology, while the hsa-miR-30e expression was analyzed by real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR.
Results:
Hsa-miR-30e expression was found to be significantly higher in patients with MGD compared to patients with single adenomas (p=0.0019), but no differences were found regarding specific genotype carriers. The genotype frequencies for ss178077483 and rs7556088 were significantly different between patients and healthy controls.
Conclusion:
Although the polymorphisms cannot be used as biomarkers for the differential diagnosis of MGD, hsa-miR-30e expression could potentially serve as a biomarker for this purpose.
