Genetic drivers of etiologic heterogeneity in thyroid cancer

Yon Ho Jee, Nikita V. Pozdeyev, Christopher R. Gignoux, Samantha White, Bryan R. Haugen, Anurag Verma, Raitis Pečulis, Vita Rovīte, Ashley J. Mulford, Alan R. Sanders, Cari Meinhold Kitahara, Mary Pat Reeve, Peter Kraft, Alicia R. Martin

This study identifies 51 genetic loci associated with thyroid cancer through a multi-ancestry GWAS and explores pleiotropic relationships to uncover mechanistic clusters and genetic subtypes.
