Abstract excerpt
Benign thyroid disorders are strong risk factors for non-medullary thyroid cancer (NMTC). Germline variation in Tg (thyroglobulin) and TSHR (thyroid stimulating hormone receptor) confers an increased risk of benign thyroid disorders. To explore the hypothesis that polymorphic variation in these genes affects the risk of NMTC we compared the frequency of TgQ2511R, TSHR-P52T and TSHR-D727E genotypes in two series...
