| Research Abstract |
The main aim of this research is to identify the SNPs associated with the risk of radiation-related thyroid cancer. We have started genome wide association analyses of thyroid cancer patients who were aged 0-18 years and resided in the radio-contaminated regions of Belarus at the time of the Chernobyl accident, and matched Belarusian control subjects.
