# LINKAGE ANALYSES IN MULTIPLE ENDOCRINE NEOPLASIA

> **NIH NIH R01** · YALE UNIVERSITY · 1987 · $189,080

## Abstract

The goal of this research is to seek identifiable genetic markers whose
inheritance is linked with that of multiple endocrine neoplasia, type II
(MEN II), and to screen individuals to detect preclinical onset of the
disease.

Approximately 240 individuals will be screened for a wide variety of
genetic markers in the attempt to identify genetic marker loci that are
closely linked to the locus at which the cancer gene is segregating.  This
information will be used to identify individuals at high risk for
inheriting the gene.  Endocrinological screening is continued in the
attempt to detect early manifestations of the disease in sufficient time so
that advanced carcinoma can be avoided.  (5)
