abstract：BACKGROUND:Parafibromin is a novel protein product of HRPT2, a recently identified tumour suppressor gene. Mutations of the HRPT2 gene are common in parathyroid carcinomas, and these exhibit reduced protein expression. Parafibromin expression in breast cancer has not been previously studied. AIMS:To determine the dist...
