Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Familial nonmedullary thyroid cancer (FNMTC) is associated with earlier onset and more aggressive behavior than its sporadic counterpart. Although candidate chromosomal loci have been proposed for isolated families with variants of FNMTC, the etiology of most cases is unknown. We aimed to identify loci linked to FNMTC susceptibility using single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array-based linkage...
