Abstract excerpt
X-Linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP)-associated factor-1 (XAF1) antagonizes XIAP-mediated caspase inhibition. XAF1 also serves as a tumor-suppressor gene, and loss of XAF1 expression correlates with tumor progression. This study investigated whether XAF1 missense single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with the development of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and their clinicopathological features in...
