Familial non-medullary thyroid cancer (FNMTC) constitutes about 3–9% of all thyroid cancers. One of the genes believed to predispose to non-syndromic FNMTC is FOXE1. It contains a polyalanine tract (polyAla) with a variable number (11 – 22) of alanine residues. This length polymorphism could lead to changes in the FOXE1-encoded protein (FOXE1 transcription factor) structure and predispose to papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). The aim of the st...
