Abstract excerpt
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) acts as a regulator in cancer development and progression. We investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of platelet-derived growth factor receptor α polypeptide (PDGFRA) and platelet-derived growth factor receptor β polypeptide (PDGFRB) genes are associated with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) in a Korean population. Two promoter SNPs (rs6554162, -1309A/G and...
