Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study is to assess if common genetic variants located in the CDKN1B locus, coding for the cell cycle inhibitor p27(Kip1), are involved in thyroid cancer susceptibility. Based on the literature and functional predictions, we selected three polymorphisms within the CDKN1B gene (rs2066827 (T326G, V109G), rs34330 (-79C>T) and rs36228499 (-838C>A)) to perform the first case-control study in thyroid...
