The genetic basis of nonsyndromic familial nonmedullary thyroid carcinoma (FNMTC) is still poorly understood, as the susceptibility genes identified so far only account for a small percentage of the genetic burden. Recently, germline mutations in DNA repair-related genes have been reported in cases with thyroid cancer. In order to clarify the genetic basis of FNMTC, 94 genes involved in hereditary cancer predisposition, including DNA repair genes, were analyzed in 48 probands from FNMTC families, through targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS).

Background: It has long been observed that there are families in which non-medullary thyroid cancer (NMTC) occurs, but few syndromes and genes have been described to date. Proteins in the shelterin complex have been implied in cancer. Here, we have studied shelterin genes in families affected by NMTC (FNMTC).

Familial non-medullary thyroid carcinoma (FNMTC) is a type of thyroid cancer characterized by genetic susceptibility, representing approximately 5% of all non-medullary thyroid carcinomas. While some cases of FNMTC are associated with familial multi-organ tumor predisposition syndromes, the majority occur independently. The genetic mechanisms underlying non-syndromic FNMTC remain unclear.

Context: The underlying genetic cause of nonmedullary thyroid cancer (NMTC) in children is often unknown, hampering both predictive testing of family members and preventive clinical management.
Objective: Our objectives were to investigated the potential heritability in the largest childhood NMTC cohort that has been genotyped to date.
Methods: Nationwide retrospective cohort study in tertiary referral centers.
