EPB41L4A and thyroid cancer: However, the association of the thyroid cancer risk allele (rs73227498[A]) with expression of EPB41L4A (P=3.0 × 10−6) becomes non-significant when conditioned on the most significant cis-eQTL signal (rs821749) for EPB41L4A (P=0.29 for association of rs73227498 with expression of EPB41L4A when conditioned on rs821749).
