Common single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes related to immune function and risk of papillary thyroid cancer.

Common single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes related to immune function and risk of papillary thyroid cancer.

Accumulating evidence suggests that alterations in immune function may be important in the etiology of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). To identify genetic markers in immune-related pathways, we evaluated 3,985 tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 230 candidate gene regions (adhesion-extrava...
