Abstract excerpt
Context: Thyroid nodules are very common, and 7% to 15% of them are diagnosed as thyroid cancer. However, the inherited genetic risk factors for thyroid nodules and their associations with thyroid cancer remain unknown. Objective: To identify the genetic variants associated with susceptibility to thyroid nodules in comparison with thyroid cancer. Design and Setting: We performed a three-stage genome-wide...
