Abstract:
[Summary] Thyroid cancer is the complicated result of both environmental and genetic factors. Recently with the emergence of genome-wide association study ( GWAS) , the researches on genetic predisposition of thyroid cancer have entered a new phase and revealed a lot of new susceptibility genes or regions. Up to now, there are 11 regions with 16 single nucleotidepolymorphisms in total have been found with GWAS, which provide new ideas for the cause of thyroid cancer and its prevention.
