Brief Summary

Diseases of mineral metabolism such as familial multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (FMEN1), familial hypocaliuric hypercalcemia (FHH), familial hyperparathyroidism (FH), and pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) are known as hereditary abnormalities. Meaning these conditions are passed from parents to their children through genes. These specific conditions result in abnormal levels of calcium in the blood. This study was designed to help researchers understand more about the genes that are responsible for these disorders. By learning more about the genetic process involved in hereditary abnormalities, new tests and treatments can be developed. Subjects for this study will be members of families that have had relatives diagnosed with a disease of mineral metabolism. Participants will be asked to give blood samples for DNA extraction. DNA is the part of cells that carries genetic information. The DNA will be analyzed and the results given to the subjects. Genetic counseling will be provided to subjects to aid in interpreting their results....

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Evaluation of metabolic diseases

  Studies will be focused around forms of hereditary hypercalcemia, MEN1, FHH, HPT-JT, and FIHP as well as other disorders of mineral metabolism like PHP. In doing so, we will test the hypothesis that MEN1 and MEN1-like states develop as a result of a germ line mutation in MEN1 or a CDKI gene, define the mutations present in the affected members of MEN1 kindreds, and assess the frequency of such mutations in patients with apparently sporadic disease.

Study Arms (1)

1

Members of families that have had relatives diagnosed with a disease of mineral metabolism. Participants will be asked to give blood samples for DNA extraction.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 4 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Subjects for this study will be members of families that have had relatives diagnosed with a disease of mineral metabolism. Participants will be asked to give blood samples for DNA extraction. DNA is the part of cells that carries genetic information. The DNA will be analyzed and the results given to the subjects. Genetic counseling will be provided to subjects to aid in interpreting their results.

* ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: 1. Patient has possible form of familial hyperparathyroidism. Or case is a clinically unaffected first degree relative of such a patient. 2. The lower age limit to enter a clinically affected minor into the study is \>= 4 years old. However, asymptomatic and possibly unaffected cases will not be enrolled, and blood will not be drawn, before age 5 years in MEN1, MEN1-like, HPT-JT, or FIHP kindreds or before age 10 in FHH kindreds.
