Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is one of the most common tumors of the thyroid gland.The common risk factors of PTC include ionizing radiation,positive family history,and thyroid nodular disease.PTC was identified in Europeans by conducting a genome-wide association study,and a strong association signal with PTC was observed in rs944289 and NKX2-1 (located at the 14q13.3 locus),which was probably the genetic risk factor of PTC.This study aimed to examine the association of this gene with PTC in Chinese.A total of 354 patients with PTC and 360 healthy control subjects from the Han population of Northern China were recruited in the study.These individuals were genotyped to determine rs12589672,rs12894724,rs2076751,and rs944289.The association of rs944289 with PTC was obtained (C vs.T,P=0.027,OR =1.264,95％ CI =1.026-1.557; and C/C C/T vs.T/T,P=0.034,OR=1.474,95％ CI=1.028-2.112).Conducting a subgroup analysis,we found a marginal difference in the allele frequency distribution of rs944289 (adjusted P =0.062) between the patients with PTC and multi-nodular goiter and the control subjects.We also observed an interaction (P=0.029; OR =2.578,95％ CI=1.104-6.023) between rs944289 and diabetes in patients with PTC.In conclusion,rs944289 was associated with an increased risk of PTC in the Han population of Northern China,but no clear association was observed in either of the tag single nucleotide polymorphisms of NKX2-1.
