Objective: Sporadic carcinoma of the parathyroid glands is a rare malignant neoplasia. The GCM2 gene encodes a transcription factor that is crucial to embryonic parathyroid development. The Y282D variant of GCM2 exhibits increased transcriptional activity, and the presence of this variant is significantly associated with a higher prevalence of primitive hyperparathyroidism. The present study investigated the prevalence of the Y282D variant of the GCM2 gene and its association with clinical parameters in patients with a definitive histological diagnosis of sporadic parathyroid carcinoma (SPC) or atypical adenoma (AA).

Abstract
Objective: Sporadic carcinoma of the parathyroid glands is a rare malignant neoplasia. The GCM2 gene encodes a transcription factor that is crucial to embryonic parathyroid development. The Y282D variant of GCM2 exhibits increased transcriptional activity, and the presence of this variant is significantly associated with a higher prevalence of primitive hyperparathyroidism. The present study investigated the prevalence of the Y282D variant of the GCM2 gene and its association with clinical parameters in patients with a definitive histological diagnosis of sporadic parathyroid carcinoma (SPC) or atypical adenoma (AA).
