- Abstract
- Nine mutations have been discovered in the parathyroid hormone (PTH) gene since it was initially sequenced in 1983. An autosomal dominant C18R mutation in the signal peptide was first reported in 1990, followed by an exon skipping mutation, leading to loss of exon 2 in 1992; the latter mutation prevents PTH biosynthesis, as exon 2 contains the initiation codon. The S23P and S23X mutations affecting the same residue were reported in 1999 and 2012, respectively, while in 2008, the somatic mutation, R83X, was detected in a parathyroid adenoma tissue sample from a patient with overt hyperparathyroidism. In 2013, the heterozygous p.Met1_Asp6del mutation was discovered incidentally in a case-control study, while another heterozygous mutation, M14K, was detected in the signal peptide 4 years later. In 2015, a homozygous R56C mutation was reported, and was the first hypoparathyroidism-causing mutation identified that affects the mature bioactive portion of PTH; this mutation has significantly contributed to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in signal transduction through the PTH receptor. Recently, a novel homozygous S32P mutation was identified, which is also situated in the bioactive portion of PTH. The discovery of these nine mutations in the PTH gene and determination of the molecular mechanisms underlying their effects has provided deep insights into the synthesis, processing, and secretion of PTH. Future attempts to discover other such mutations will help elucidate as yet unknown functions of PTH, with potential clinical implications. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
