The Role of Demographic and Clinical Factors in Germline Mutation Testing for Patients with Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Annals of Surgical Oncology(2024)
Abstract
Guidelines recommending genetic counseling in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) vary. To further delineate current recommendations, this study examined genetic counseling referral patterns and rates of mutations in surgical patients with PHPT. A single-institution review was performed of adult patients who underwent parathyroidectomy for presumed sporadic PHPT. Genetic testing indications of hypercalcemia onset ≤ 40 years, multigland disease (MGD), family history (FHx) of PHPT, or other clinical indications suspicious for a PHPT-related endocrinopathy were examined by demographics and mutation detection rates. Genetic counseling was performed in 237 (37.9
