Genetic aspects underlying the normocalcemic and hypercalcemic phenotypes of primary hyperparathyroidism.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeHypercalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disorder that has been very well characterized. In contrast, many aspects of normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NPHPT) such as natural history, organ damage, and management are still matter of debate. In addition, both the pathophysiology and molecular basis of NPHPT are unclear. We investigated whether PHPT and NPHPT patient cohorts share the same pattern of genetic variation in genes known to be involved in calcium and/or bone metabolism. RESEARCH DESIGN AND
methodsGenotyping for 9 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was performed by Real-Time PCR (TaqMan assays) on 27 NPHPT and 31 PHPT patients evaluated in a tertiary referral Center. The data of both groups were compared with 54 in house-controls and 503 subjects from the 1000 Genomes Project. All groups were compared for allele/haplotype frequencies, on a single locus, two loci and multi-locus basis.
resultsThe NPHPT group differed significantly at SNPs in OPG and ESR1. Also, the NPHPT cohort was peculiar for pairwise associations of genotypes and for the overrepresentation of unusual multilocus genotypes.
conclusionsOur NPHPT patient set harbored a definitely larger quota of genetic diversity than the other samples. Specific genotypes may help in defining subgroups of NPHPT patients which deserve ad hoc clinical and follow-up studies.
