Study Summary

The aim of this project is to identify genetic risk factors associated with familial papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Papillary thyroid cancer is a type of cancer that shows high heritability. However, the specific genetic factors that cause an increased risk have been elusive.

Primary Outcome

Variants will be assessed for segregation within families, expression in the normal thyroid and/or thyroid cancer, and functional significance
