The parathyroid glands (PG) are the main source for circulating parathyroid hormone (PTH), a hormone that is essential for the regulation of calcium and phosphate metabolism. The PGs develop during embryogenesis from the pharyngeal pouches with contributions from endodermal and neural crest cells. A few genes have been attributed to the formation, migration and differentiation of the PG anlage. In studies mostly done in genetically manipulated mice it could be demonstrated that Rae28, Hoxa3, Paxly Pax9 and Gcm2 are essential for proper PG formation. Recently, candidate genes involved in the DiGeorge syndrome have been identified as well.
