The following information may help to address your question:
How is familial isolated hyperparathyroidism diagnosed?
In the majority of people with FIHP, genetic mutations are not found. However, in some people, mutations in
the MEN1, CASR, and CDC73 (HRPT2) genes have been reported. At this time, no gene has been associated exclusively with FIHP.[1]
What are the chances I have familial isolated hyperparathyroidism if my sister has primary hyperparathyroidism?
How can I find a genetics professional in my area?
