Mapping a New Familial Thyroid Epithelial Neoplasia Susceptibility Locus to Chromosome 8p23.1-p22 by High-Density Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism Genome-Wide Linkage Analysis

Abstract

Our results present evidence for the existence of a novel familial thyroid epithelial neoplasia susceptibility locus on chromosome 8p23.1-p22, providing the basis for the identification of a gene for this disease.
