Association with risk of follicular cell-derived thyroid cancer for 9 candidate variants in the discovery and replication stages.

Abbreviations: MAF = minor allele frequency; OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; ESE = Exonic Splicing Enhancers; PTC = Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma; cPTC = classic PTC; fvPTC = follicular variant of PTC; FTC = Follicular Thyroid Carcinoma. The table is sorted by disease subtype and, within each group, by P-value.aMajor/minor allele (in controls);bOR and CI were obtained using homozygotes for the most frequent allele in controls as the reference group;cP-values are derived from Wald statistics;dResults adjusted for age and gender;eResults adjusted for age, gender and country.
