Significant associations were detected among PTC and rs944289 (p=8.007e-11), rs965513 (p=1.013e-4), rs966423 (p=1.688e-3) and rs2439302 (p=1.096e-4) in a dominant model, while the rs116909374 SNP was not detected in the Chinese population.
Two recent genome-wide association studies (GWASs) identified five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs965513, rs944289, rs966423, rs2439302, and rs116909374) associated with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).
