Official Title: A Strategy to Search for Genes Predisposing to Papillary Carcinoma of the Thyroid When Mutated

Brief 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.
