NCT ID NCT02776969
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find the genetic changes that make some families more likely to develop papillary thyroid cancer. Researchers will analyze DNA from 1,200 people who either have this cancer and have at least three affected relatives, or are family members of such patients. The goal is to identify specific gene variants linked to inherited risk, which could lead to better screening and understanding of the disease.
