Study aims to explore how certain genetic variants (SNPs) influence the risk of developing papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) in the Kazakh population.
Analysis involved 485 PTC patients and 1,008 healthy controls, focusing on eight specific SNPs, with five showing significant links to PTC risk.
Findings suggest that these genetic factors contribute to approximately 30-40% of PTC risk, highlighting the importance of genetics alongside other risk factors.
