Inherited variants in genes somatically mutated in thyroid cancer

Abstract: BackgroundTumour suppressor genes when mutated in the germline cause various cancers, but they can also be somatically mutated in sporadic tumours. We hypothesized that there may also be cancer-related germline variants in the genes commonly mutated in sporadic well-differentiated thyroid cancer (WDTC).MethodsWe performed a two-stage case-control association study with a total of 2214 cases and 2108 healthy controls from an Italian population. By genotyping 34 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), we covered… Show more

“…Of note is the missense SNP rs459552 in APC whose minor allele 'T' (MAF, 0.2019/24418-ExAC, NCBI-dbSNP Short Genetic Variations) was present in all the CR-CSC lines. However, the association of APC rs459552 with cancer remains unclear [37,38].…”

“…The onset and progression of caner are often triggered by genome-wide accumulated structural abnormalities, especially by dysregulated oncogenes variation. Many genomic variations have been found in thyroid cancer, including point mutation, SV, gene fusion and other complex genomic variation [7][8][9], which were reported to be correlated with genomic instability and patient clinical traits [10][11][12][13].…”
