Marotta et al. examined four SNPs (rs699947, rs833061, rs2010963, rs3025039) in VEGFA and demonstrated that the minor homozygous genotypes AA of SNPs rs699947 and CC of SNP rs833061 CC exerted a protective effect on differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), and haplotype ACG (consisting of alleles of VEGFA SNPs rs699947, rs833061, and rs2010963) was protective to DTC [35]. Here, VEGFA is linked to differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
