Journal ArticleDOI
Surgery or surveillance for mild asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism: a prospective, randomized clinical trial.
Elena Ambrogini,Filomena Cetani,Luisella Cianferotti,Edda Vignali,Chiara Banti,G Viccica,A. Oppo,Paolo Miccoli,Piero Berti,John P. Bilezikian,Aldo Pinchera,Claudio Marcocci +11 more
TL;DR: In patients with mild asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism, successful PTx is followed by an improvement in BMD and quality of life, and most patients followed without surgery did not show evidence of progression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic analyses of the HRPT2 gene in primary hyperparathyroidism: germline and somatic mutations in familial and sporadic parathyroid tumors.
Filomena Cetani,Elena Pardi,Simona Borsari,Paolo Viacava,Giada Dipollina,Luisella Cianferotti,Elena Ambrogini,Elisabetta Gazzerro,Giacomo Colussi,Piero Berti,Paolo Miccoli,Aldo Pinchera,Claudio Marcocci +12 more
TL;DR: The finding that two of the seven patients with sporadic parathyroid cancer carried an HRPT2 germline mutation suggests that they might have occult HPT-JT, and the results confirm the need for testingHRPT2 gene in FIHP families.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Novel Mutation of the Autoimmune Regulator Gene in an Italian Kindred with Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathy-Candidiasis-Ectodermal Dystrophy, Acting in a Dominant Fashion and Strongly Cosegregating with Hypothyroid Autoimmune Thyroiditis
Filomena Cetani,Giuseppe Barbesino,Simona Borsari,Elena Pardi,Luisella Cianferotti,Aldo Pinchera,Claudio Marcocci +6 more
TL;DR: Analysis of the family tree showed direct transmission of the hypothyroid autoimmune thyroiditis/polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy phenotype to the offspring in each generation in the absence of consanguinity, further supporting a dominant inheritance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphometric vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women with primary hyperparathyroidism.
Edda Vignali,G Viccica,Daniele Diacinti,Filomena Cetani,Luisella Cianferotti,Elena Ambrogini,Chiara Banti,Romano Del Fiacco,John P. Bilezikian,Aldo Pinchera,Claudio Marcocci +10 more
TL;DR: VF rate is increased in postmenopausal women with PHPT compared to controls, independently of whether they are classified as symptomatic or asymptomatic, and the question of whether the finding of mild morphometric VFs in the latter represents an indication for parathyroid surgery remains to be established.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin D receptor is essential for normal keratinocyte stem cell function
TL;DR: Absence of the VDR impairs canonical Wnt signaling in keratinocytes and leads to the development of alopecia due to a defect inkeratinocyte stem cells, as demonstrated by transient gene expression assays.
