Table 1. Major Clinical Features of MEN1, FIHP, HPT-JT, and FHH

Condition Gene(s) Major Clinical Features  
CaSR = calcium-sensing receptor gene; FHH = familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia; FIHP = familial isolated hyperparathyroidism; HPT-JT = hyperparathyroidism–jaw tumor syndrome; HRPT2 = hyperparathyroidism 2 gene; MEN1 = multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (gene is italicized); NETs = neuroendocrine tumors; PHPT = primary hyperparathyroidism.
MEN1MEN1 PHPT, pituitary adenomas, pancreatic NETs [1]
FIHPMEN1, HRPT2PHPT [50-54]
HPT-JTHRPT2 PHPT; osteomas of maxilla and mandible; renal cysts or hamartomas; and rarely, Wilms tumor and parathyroid carcinoma [47-49]
FHHCaSR Hyperparathyroidism (not primary) [55,56]
