Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Association analysis of five SNPs previously reported to confer risk for thyroid cancer with benign follicular adenoma (FA) was performed in 959 FA, 535 papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC), and 2766 population controls from Japan. A significant association was found between FA and rs944289 (PTCSC3) and rs2439302 (NRG1), demonstrating that predisposing genetic factors are partly common for benign and malignant thyroid tumors, and implying broader roles of the pathways that NRG1 and PTCSC3 underlie in thyroid tumorigenesis, not limited to carcinogenesis.
