In another study (66), a total of 672 patients from 133 FNMTC progeny were tested at 11 known candidate loci, including the chromosomal locus 9q22.33 near FOXE1. The SNPs rs965513 and rs10759944 at 9q22.33 showed the most consistent association with FNMTC. Here, FOXE1 is linked to familial papillary or follicular thyroid carcinoma.
