Abstract excerpt
Rearranged during Transfection (RET) gene polymorphisms act to influence thyroid cancer in a polygenic and low-penetrance manner and no study regarding RET alterations in thyroid cancer has undergone from this part of the world (North India). We evaluated RET G691S (rs1799939), L769L (rs1800861), and S904S (rs1800863) polymorphisms to elucidate their possible role as risk factors in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC)...
