A Gene Hunting Study for Familial Papillary Thyroid Cancer
Sponsor: Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center
View on ClinicalTrials.gov
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.
