A Germline Mutation in the <i>POT1</i> Gene Is a Candidate for Familial Non-Medullary Thyroid Cancer

Non-medullary thyroid cancer (NMTC) is a common endocrine malignancy with a genetic basis that has yet to be unequivocally established. In a recent whole-genome sequencing study of five families with occurrence of NMTCs, we shortlisted promising variants with the help of bioinformatics tools. Here,...
