Confirmation of papillary thyroid cancer susceptibility loci identified by genome-wide association studies of chromosomes 14q13, 9q22, 2q35 and 8p12 in a Chinese population

Abstract

Four candidate loci, rs965513 (9q22.33), rs944289 (14q13.3), rs966423 (2q35) and rs2439302 (8p12), identified by GWAS for PTC risk were confirmed in a Chinese population. The PTC risk of accumulative risk allele carriers increased with the number of risk alleles.
