In the study, the authors found that the expression of miR-24-3p inversely correlated with the expression of the MEN1 gene in tumor samples, suggesting that the epigenetic silencing of the MEN1 gene by miR-24-3p in parathyroid adenoma may occur regardless of whether a patient is affected or not by MEN1 syndrome. Here, MEN1 is linked to multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1.
