Additionally, FTO rs1477196 was linked to a higher risk of thyroid cancer qq vs. rr + rq (OR = 1.47, 95% CI = 1.13–1.91, p = 0.004) and remarkably relevant to an increased cancer susceptibility for Caucasians (q vs. r (OR = 1.29, 95% CI =1.06–1.57, p = 0.009); rq + qq vs. rr (OR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.04–1.80, p = 0.024)). Here, FTO is linked to cancer.
