Epigenetic deregulation is emerging as a component of the parathyroid tumorigenesis. We identified a long non-coding RNA (LNCRNA) signature clearly distinguishing parathyroid adenomas (PAds) and carcinomas from normal glands. Among the deregulated LncRNAS, HAR1B was upregulated in PAds harboring the common chromosome 11q loss of heterozygosity (Chr11q-LOH; n=10) compared with PAds harboring normal chromosome 11 haplotype (Chr11q-WT; n=12; P&...

Long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) are transcripts of more than 200 nucleotides not translated into proteins. They carry out diverse functions, including transcriptional regulation in cis or trans, organization of nuclear domains, and regulation of proteins or RNA molecules. Aberrant expression of LncRNAs has been reported in human cancers; indeed, data in parathyroid tumors are lacking. Based on the profiling through lncProfilersTM qPCR Array with SYBR...
