Abstract excerpt
Four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been reported to be associated with thyroid cancer risk in two genome-wide association studies (GWASs) and were validated in a Chinese population. Because of a lack of further clinical and functional evidence, the clinical significances of these SNPs remain unknown. Four GWAS-identified SNPs of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), rs965513, rs944289, rs966423 and...
