In this paper, a Tissue Microarray (TMA)-based immunohistochemical evaluation of the expression of β-catenin, cadherins (E-cadherin, N-cadherin, P-cadherin, OB-cadherin) and P-Runx2 was performed in formalin fixed, paraffin embedded samples from nine patients affected by fibrous dysplasia (n.8) and HPT-JT syndrome (n.1), and in seven controls, represented by reactive fibromyxoid tissue, reactive mature fibrous tissue, normal bone with hematopoietic cells and remodeling bone surrounding developmental odontogenic cyst. Here, CDH2 is linked to fibrous dysplasia.
