ABSTRACT

The current classification of sporadic parathyroid neoplasia, specifically the distinction of adenoma from multiple gland neoplasia (double adenoma and nonfamilial primary hyperplasia) is problematic and results in a relatively high rate of clinical error. Oligonucleotide microarrays (Affymetrix U133A) were used to evaluate parathyroid samples from 61 patients; 35 adenomas, 10 nonfamilial multiple gland neoplasia, 3 familial primary hyperplasia, 8 renal-induced hyperplasia, and 5 from patients without parathyroid disease (normals). A multiclass comparison using supervised clustering identified distinct gene signatures for each class of parathyroid samples. We developed a predictor model that correctly identified 34 of 35 cases of adenoma, 9 of 10 cases of nonfamilial multiple gland neoplasia, and identified a minimum set of 11 genes for the distinction of adenoma versus multiple gland neoplasia. All methods of unsupervised clustering showed two related but different types of parathyroid adenomas that we have arbitrarily designated as type 1 and type 2 adenomas. Multiple gland parathyroid neoplasia, which represents either synchronous or asynchronous autonomous growth in two, three, or all four parathyroid glands, is a distinct molecular entity and does not represent the molecular pathogenesis of adenoma occurring in multiple glands.
