Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies have shown that the 8q24 region harbours multiple independent cancer susceptibility loci and it was also defined as the "susceptibility cancer region." Thus, it could be hypothesized that genetic variants within this region could play a role in the risk of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). METHODS: Six single-nucleotide polymorphisms within 8q24 were analyzed,...
