Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: By genome-wide association studies, the risk allele [A] of SNP rs965513 predisposes strongly to papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). It is located in a gene-poor region of 9q22, some 60 kb from the FOXE1 gene. The underlying mechanisms remain to be discovered. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to identify novel transcripts in the 9q22 locus and correlate gene expression levels with the genotypes of rs965513....
