ABSTRACT
Thyroid cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers of the endocrine system. There are no known genetic risk factors for non-medullary thyroid cancer, other than a small number of hereditary syndromes; however, approximately 5% of non-medullary thyroid cancer, designated familial non-medullary thyroid cancer, exhibits heritability. The p.G534E (c.1601G>A) variant of HABP2 was recently reported as a risk factor for familial non-medullary thyroid cancer, including papillary thyroid carcinoma. We analyzed the incidence of the c.1601G>A variant of HABP2 in a Polish population consisting of 326 cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma and 400 control individuals by DNA genotyping, performed by Sanger sequencing. The c.1601G>A variant was detected in 3.7% of sporadic papillary thyroid carcinoma cases and 4.7% of healthy controls, and we did not detect an association between this variant and sporadic papillary thyroid carcinoma risk (OR = 0.71, 95% CI: 0.33–1.51; p = 0.3758). Additionally, no significant associations were identified between clinical and pathological disease features, response to primary treatment, and clinical status at the end of the observation, and HABP2 c.1601G>A genotype. In conclusion, the p.G534E variant of HABP2 is not associated with sporadic papillary thyroid carcinoma risk in the Polish population.
