Curiously, a GWAS of PTC identified a unique, long, intergenic, noncoding RNA gene (lincRNA) named papillary thyroid carcinoma susceptibility candidate 3 (PTCSC3), with the characteristics of a tumor suppressor, located 3.2 kb downstream of rs944289 at 14q.13.3 (47). This evidence concerns the gene PTCSC3 and thyroid gland papillary carcinoma.
