Molecular Analysis of TTF-1 and TTF-2 Genes in Patients with Early Onset Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

Two common variants, close from TTF-1 and TTF-2, were shown to predispose to thyroid cancer (TC) in European populations. We aimed to investigate whether TTF-1 and TTF-2 variants might contribute to TC early onset (EO). Tumor samples from eighteen patients with papillary TC (PTC), who underwent tota...
