title: [Parathyroid-related gene polymorphisms and their clinical significance].
abstract: To put the tailor-made medical care and treatment into practice, some gene polymorphisms related life-style diseases have been found. On this issue, candidate gene polymorphisms are now being searched in parathyroid related diseases. Regarding primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism, it has been suggested that some gene polymorphisms such as vitamin D receptor and parathyroid hormone might affect the condition and the seriousness of these diseases.
