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.
