“…HPT-JT is an autosomal dominant syndrome with high but incomplete penetrance (Jackson et al, 1990). The major features are primary hyperparathyroidism (90%) including 15% of all affected by HPT-JT with parathyroid cancer, jaw tumors (30%), bilateral renal cysts (10%), and less commonly solid renal tumors (Jackson, 1958;Firat and Stutzman, 1968;Kennett and Pollick, 1971;Dinnen et al, 1977;Rosen and Palmer, 1981;Warnakulasuriya et al, 1985;Mallette et al, 1987;Jackson et al, 1990;Streeten et al, 1992;Visset et al, 1992;Wassif et al, 1993;Kakinuma et al, 1994;Inoue et al, 1995;Szabo et al, 1995;Teh et al, 1996Teh et al, , 1998Fujikawa et al, 1998;Yoshimoto et al, 1998;Cavaco et al, 2001;Simonds et al, 2002).
