Although previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several susceptibility loci, the genetic, transcriptomic, and proteomic factors influencing DTC risk remain unclear. We conducted a large-scale GWAS of 7,681 cases and 963,550 controls of European ancestry. Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) used the joint tissue imputation across thyroid, pituitary, blood, and hypothalamus tissues. Proteome-wide association studies (PWAS) integrated brain and plasma proteomic data to identify proteins influencing DTC risk. Mendelian randomization (MR) and Bayesian colocalization were conducted to infer causality. GWAS identified 18 novel loci associated with DTC risk, four of which were previously suggested and are now confirmed. TWAS identified 29 significant genes, including five genes ( LRRC34 , NRG1 , HEMGN , PTCSC3 , and SMAD3) located within known loci and three novel genes ( SAMD4A, RAD51-AS1, and MPHOSPH6 ) validated as causal through MR and Bayesian colocalization. PWAS identified seven significant proteins, with three ( MTHFR , KDELC2 , and SAMD4A ) confirmed as causal, further highlighting 15q15.1 as a novel risk locus consistently emerging across all omics layers. This integrated multi-omics approach reveals novel genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying DTC, linking genomic variation to gene expression and protein abundance. Health sciences/Medical research/Genetics research Health sciences/Medical research/Epidemiology Figures Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Introduction Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy, with its incidence rising rapidly in developed countries over the last three decades 1 . Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) are the most frequent types of differentiated thyroid carcinomas (DTC), comprising about 90% of all thyroid cancer. While the exact risk factors remain unclear, lifestyle, environmental, and genetic factors are strongly implicated. DTC stands out notably high familial risk, suggesting a strong genetic contribution to its etiology 2 . Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified four well-established DTC susceptibility loci at 2q35, 8p12, 9q22.33, and 14q13.3 3 . A recent large-scale GWAS uncovered an additional five novel risk loci at 1q42.2, 3q26.2, 5p15.33, 5q22.1, 10q24.33, and 15q22.33 4 . However, most variants lie in non-coding regions, making their biological interpretation challenging. In this study, we conducted a large-scale GWAS meta-analysis including 7,681 DTC cases and 963,550 controls of European ancestry. We integrated transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) using eQTL and proteome-wide association studies (PWAS) using pQTL to identify novel DTC risk genes and uncover biological mechanism driving DTC development. This multi-omics approach helps link genetic variants to disease, offering a more comprehensive understanding of DTC etiology. We also used Mendelian Randomization (MR) 5 to assess the causal effects of gene expression and protein abundance on DTC risk. Finally, we proposed an updated polygenic risk score (PRS) that integrates novel susceptibility loci to improve risk prediction. Methods and material Genome-wide association study meta-analysis of DTC We conducted a GWAS meta-analysis of DTC using data from four studies with individual-level genotype and phenotype data, and two additional studies providing summary statistics. We performed logistic regression analyses adjusting for sex, age and 10 principal components in the two case-control studies, EPITHYR 3 (1,552 cases and 1,954 controls) and ITALIAN 6 (632 cases and 430 controls), and two nested case-control studies, EPIC 7 (345 cases and 783 controls) and UK Biobank (518 cases and 358,640 controls) cohorts. Summary statistics for deCODE genetics 4 (3,001 cases and 287,550 controls) and FinnGen 8 (1,633 cases and 314,193 controls) were obtained from publicly available sources. Detailed information about the participants, genotyping, quality control, imputation and statistical analyses is summarized in the Supplementary Methods 1. We incorporated all summary statistics by fixed effect inverse-variance weighted meta-analysis using GWAMA software 9 . The heterogeneity of risk estimates was evaluated using Cochran’s Q statistic and I 2 . After imputation, 20.8 million variants were analyzed, based on Genome Reference Consortium GRCh38 (hg38). Transcriptome-wide association study of DTC We conducted a TWAS to identify genetically predicted gene expression associated with DTC. TWAS integrates GWAS data with cis- eQTL information, enhancing statistical power for identifying gene-disease associations. We used pre-computed gene expression with common cis -eQTL weights from the joint tissue imputation (JTI) model across four thyroid relevant tissues (thyroid, pituitary, whole blood, and brain hypothalamus) from the Genotype-Tissue Expression Project (GTEx, v8) 10 . The JTI model improves prediction accuracy by leveraging shared genetic regulation across tissues 11 . The model uses similarity measures tuned through 5-fold cross-validation. Genes with strong predictive accuracy (r 2 > 0.1 and p-value < 0.05) from the 5-fold cross-validation were classified as imputable and included in subsequent analyses. Single tissue association tests for the four tissues were conducted using DTC GWAS summary statistics, JTI-derived gene expression weights and a SNP-correlation (LD) matrix from the 1,000 Genome Project through S-PrediXcan 12 . Sensitivity analyses across 49 normal tissues accounted for variations in gene expression on different tissue. We also used the thyroid cancer tissue from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), as cancer significantly alters gene expression in surrounding tissue, providing a more comprehensive understanding. Cis- locus was defined within ± 500kb of gene boundaries. Statistical significance was adjusted for multiple testing using the Bonferroni correction, based on the number of genes tested. Proteomics-wide association study of DTC Proteins are highly effective biomarkers and therapeutic targets, as they are the primary functional components of cellular and biological processes and the end products of gene expression 13 . The hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis suggests that proteomic profiles in blood plasma and brain tissue may influence DTC progression. We use proteomic data from two studies: the Religious Orders Study and Memory and Aging Project (ROS/MAP) 14 for brain proteome and the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) 15 studies for plasma proteome. The ROS/MAP study provided brain proteomes from 400 postmortem samples of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dPFC). Proteomic analysis was conducted using isobaric tandem mass tag (TMT) peptide labeling and liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Samples were randomized into 50 batches to minimize batch effects based on age, sex, post-mortem interval, cognitive diagnosis, and pathologies. Genotypes were derived from whole-genome sequencing or genome-wide genotyping using Illumina OmniQuad Express or Affymetrix GeneChip 6.0 platforms 16 . Of 8,356 proteins in 376 European descent subjects, 1,475 proteins were significantly cis- heritable and included in our PWAS. The ARIC study, a cohort of 15,792 participants from four US communities, provided blood plasma proteome data from 7,213 European American. Plasma protein concentrations were measured using SomaLogic’sV4 platform with an aptamer (SOMAmer)-based approach. Of 4,877 SOMAmers, 4,657 passed quality control, identifying 4,483 unique proteins encoded by 4,435 autosomal genes. 1,350 proteins were significantly cis- heritable and retained for PWAS analysis. Protein weights were calculated using Functional Summary-based Imputation (FUSION) 17 , which estimates the association between brain and blood plasma proteins with DTC, utilizing the LD matrix from the 1,000 Genome Project. The genetic effect of DTC was computed by calculating the linear sum of GWAS Z-scores multiplied by the corresponding protein weights for independent SNPs. We applied false discovery rate (FDR) threshold of 0.05 to account for multiple testing. Mendelian randomization MR uses genetic variants, typically, SNPs, as an instrumental variable (IV) to estimate the causal association between exposure and outcome. This approach minimizes reverse causation and confounding bias, as genetic variants are randomized at conception. For SNPs to be valid, they must satisfy three assumptions: i) strong association with the exposure; ii) no direct association with the outcome except through the exposure (i.e., no directional horizontal pleiotropy); and iii) no association with confounders of the IV-outcome relationship. We performed LD clumping to obtain independent SNPs with threshold of r 2 < 0.1 (instead of r 2 < 0.001 in a standard MR analysis). This threshold was chosen based on a simulation study showing stable coverage rates up to a pruning threshold correlation of 0.16, while avoiding estimates due to multicollinearity emerging around a correlation of 0.36 18 . However, regulatory pleiotropy, especially within the same gene locus, can inflate type 1 error rates. To address this, we applied multivariable MR (MVMR) when a SNP was a cis -eQTL for multiple genes 19 . For each gene identified through TWAS/PWAS, we considered all independent cis- eQTLs/pQTLs with an FDR of 0.01 and included other associated genes in the model for each tissue (Supplementary Fig. 1). To avoid multicollinearity, SNPs were clumped to retain only independent variants. The exposure ( cis- eQTLs/pQTLs) and outcome (DTC GWAS) data were harmonized to ensure the effect alleles aligned. For genes or proteins with a single independent cis -QTL, we used the Wald ratio to estimate the causal effect on DTC risk. For those with multiple independent cis -QTLs, we applied the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) 20 method, combining effect of multiple SNPs in a random-effects model. Finally, MVMR was used to account for pleiotropy when multiple cis -QTLs were found across genes or proteins. Colocalization Analysis To identify shared causal variants between significant GWAS loci and eQTL or pQTL signals, we performed a Bayesian colocalization analysis 21 . We focused on variants within ± 500kb of lead variants in each locus and estimated the posterior probability (PP) for five hypotheses: no association (H0), causal variant for GWAS only (H1), causal variant for eQTL or pQTL only (H2), two independent causal variants (H3), and a shared causal variant (H4). A high PP4 (≥ 0.80) indicates that a single variant likely influences both traits within the same genomic region, suggesting a shared causal signal. Additionally, a gene-level colocalization was conducted using FOCUS (Fine-mapping Of CaUsal gene Sets) 22 to identify the most likely causal genes associated with DTC risk. This Bayesian method integrates GWAS summary statistics with eQTL data to prioritize genes that mediate the association between genetic variants and DTC risk, providing credible sets of genes with posterior inclusion probabilities (PIP) that quantify the likelihood of each gene being causal for the trait. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis We conducted enrichment analyses of the significant genes identified by GWAS, TWAS or PWAS using Enrichr across multiple resources, including Gene Ontology (GO) term and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) to explore the biological functions and pathway to DTC 23 , 24 . The statistical significance of each pathway was calculated using the hypergeometric test and Fisher’s exact test. Pathway with p-value ≤ 0.05 and at least two overlapping genes were considered significant. Polygenic Risk Score A PRS was constructed to evaluate the cumulative genetic effects of DTC-associated variants. The PRS included GWAS significant SNPs, and its predictive performance was tested on EPIC and EPITHYR studies, with beta estimates derived from analyses excluding these studies to ensure independent validation. Logistic regression was applied to examine the association between the PRS and DTC, adjusting for age, sex, and the first 10 principal components. We also developed a gene/protein-based PRS using TWAS and PWAS to enhance the predictive capability (Supplementary Methods 2). The predictive performance of the PRS model for distinguishing DTC cases from controls was evaluated by calculating the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC). Results GWAS analysis The overall GWAS Manhattan plot is presented in Fig. 1. There was no indication of genomic inflation from QQ plot (λ GC = 1.07), suggesting the absence of significant cryptic population substructure and differences in genotypic variants between the cases and controls (Supplementary Fig. 2). A total of 27 significant loci were identified, including nine previously reported loci (1q42.2, 2q35, 3q26.2, 5q22.1, 8p12, 9q22.33, 10q24.33, 14q13.3, and 15q22.33). Table 1 presents the association of the lead variant with the lowest p-value from the meta-analysis. Details of the association for significant SNPs across all studies are provided in Supplementary Table 1.

Novel loci We discovered 18 novel loci significantly associated with DTC risk at genome-wide significance level (p < 5.0x10 − 8 ), with regional plots shown in supplementary Fig. 3. Among these, 14 had more than one significant SNP within ± 500kb of the lead variant (1p31.3, 1q41, 1q43, 5p15.33, 6p21.1, 7q31.33, 8q24.22, 9p22.1, 10q22.3, 15q15.1, 16q23.2, 19p13.2, 19p12 and 22q12.1). Four loci at 1p31.3 ( NFIA , rs334723[G], OR = 1.36; P = 3.66x10 − 11 ), 5p15.33 ( TERT , rs7734992[C], OR = 1.17; P = 1.40x10 − 16 ), 16q23.2 ( MAFTRR , rs11645076[T], OR = 1.18; P = 1.56x10 − 11 ) and 19p12 ( ZNF257 , rs8105767[G], OR = 1.15; P = 5.10x10 − 11 ) have been suggested as susceptibility loci from previous studies 3 , 4 , but are now confirmed at the genome wide significant level in our analysis (Fig. 2). TWAS analysis A total of 15,814 genes were analyzed across thyroid relevant tissues through TWAS (Supplementary Table 2), and we identified 29 genes across 13 distinct loci significantly associated with DTC risk at the Bonferroni-corrected significant (P < 0.05/15,814 = 3.16x10 − 6 ), including 26 protein-coding and 3 non-coding RNA genes (Fig. 1). Sixteen genes were located within six previously identified loci (3q26.2, 8p12, 9q22.33, 10q24.33, 14q13.3 and 15q22.33) while 13 genes were located at seven novel loci (1q41, 1q43, 9p22.1, 14q22.2, 15q15.1, 16q23.2 and 19p12) (Table 2 ). Notably, all these loci, except 14q22.2, were also reported in the GWAS analysis above. Thirteen genes (7 known and 6 novel genes) had predicted expression negatively associated with DTC risk, while 16 genes (9 known and 7 novel) had predicted expression positively associated to DTC risk. These associations were further confirmed by an eQTL analysis, which explores the relationship between genetic variants affecting gene expression and those with DTC risk in corresponding tissues (Supplementary Fig. 4).

We then applied MR to the 29 significant genes to identify the mostly causal genes at each 13 loci (Table 2 ). Eleven genes ( PTCSC2, STN1, AAGAB, ACTRT3, TRIM14, TMOD1, SAXO1, LRRIQ4, CHST14, MAFTRR , and RMDN3 ) were excluded due to a violation of the first assumption of MR (FDR ≥ 0.01). Among the 18 remaining genes (located at 12 loci), nine were located at 6 previously identified loci with causal associations for LRRC34 (3q26.2), NRG1 (8p12), HEMGN (9q22.33), PTCSC3 (14q.13.3), and SMAD3 (15q22.33). Additionally, MR analysis on 9 genes located at 7 novel loci reported that predicted expression levels of TGFB2 (1q41), SDCCAG8 (1q43), SAMD4A (14q22.2), RAD51-AS1 (15q15.1) and MPHOSPH6 (16q23.2) were significantly associated with DTC risk. Integrative analyses using Bayesian colocalization and FOCUS also revealed several genes to prioritize at the 13 TWAS-identified loci (Supplementary Table 3–4). Strong evidence of colocalization were reported for SAMD4A (14q22.2), RAD51-AS1 (15q15.1), MPHOSPH6 (16q23.2), ZNF257 (19p12), ACTRT3 (3q23.2), NRG1 (8p12), and SMAD3 (15q22.3). Moderate colocalization signals were detected for TGFB2 (1q41), SDCCAG8 (1q43), SAXO1 (9p22.1), LRRC34 (3q26.2), PTCSC2 (9q22.33), and STN1 (10q24.33). Notably, SAMD4A , RAD51-AS1 , MPHOSPH6, NRG1 and SMAD3 showed strong evidence of causality, supported by both MR and Bayesian colocalization. Despite relatively low PP4 values, genes such as TGFB2 and SDCCAG8 exhibited a strong visual correlation between gene expression and DTC risk, with a coefficient of -0.54 and 0.63, respectively (Supplementary Fig. 4). Expanding to all available 49 GTEx tissues, we identified 66 significant genes at the Bonferroni-corrected significant level (P = 0.05/20,438 = 2.45x10 − 6 ) (Supplementary Table 5 and Supplementary Fig. 5). The Z-scores for most of the genes identified were concordant in effect size and p-value compared to thyroid relevant tissues. Apart from thyroid relevant tissues, the tissues with the highest number of detected genes included testis, skin sun-exposed lower leg, and the brain cerebellar hemisphere tissue. Notably, the well-established thyroid cancer risk gene FOXE1 at 9q22.33 (P TWAS =5.68x10 − 81 ) was identified in testis tissue, and the DLG5 gene at 10q22.3 (P TWAS =5.77x10 − 8 ) which initially identified as significant in the GWAS, demonstrated a positive association between its predicted expression in brain cerebellar hemisphere tissue and DTC. Additionally, the TERT (P TWAS =2.61x10 − 13 ) and CLPTM1L (P TWAS =5.68x10 − 8 ) genes at 5p15, associated with lower predicted expression and increased DTC risk in sun-exposed lower leg skin tissue. Using cis- eQTL from thyroid tumor tissue (significant level of 0.05/5,210 = 9.60x10 − 6 ), we identified 17 significant genes associated with DTC risk including NFIA gene (P TWAS =1.66x10 − 10 ), which was exclusively identified in thyroid tumor tissue (Supplementary Table 6). PWAS analysis We analyzed 1,475 genetically predicted proteins levels from brain proteome and 1,350 from plasma blood, revealing seven significant proteins under FDR threshold of 0.05: MTHFR (1p36.22), NANS (9q22.33), KDELC2 (11q22.3), SAMD4A (14q22.2), EIF2AK4 (15q15.1), RMDN3 (15q15.1), and JAG1 (20p12.2) (Supplementary Fig. 6 and Supplementary Table 7). Genetically predicted protein abundance level of MTHFR (OR IVW =0.51; 95% CI = 0.33–0.79; P = 2.59x10 − 3 ), KDELC2 (OR MVMR =0.84; 95% CI = 0.76–0.92; P = 3.48x10 − 4 ), and SAMD4A (OR IVW =1.59; 95% CI = 1.33–1.90; P = 3.36x10 − 7 ) were causally associated with DTC through MR and Bayesian colocalization (Table 3 and Supplementary Table 8). Notably, the well-known locus 9q22.33 and novel locus 15q15.1 were consistently identified across multi-omics layers, from the genome, transcriptome and proteome. In contrast, SAMD4A gene at 14q22.2 was highlighted only in TWAS (thyroid tissue) and PWAS (brain proteome), without reaching significance in GWAS. Bayesian colocalization supported a shared genetic signal between both eQTL and pQTL for this gene, with PP4 exceeding 90%, further reinforcing its causality through MR analysis (Table 2 – 3 and Supplementary Fig. 7).

Enrichment analysis A gene set enrichment analysis was conducted using 50 genes associated with DTC identified through GWAS, TWAS or PWAS (Supplementary Table 9 and Supplementary Fig. 8). Gene Ontology enrichment analysis revealed significant enrichment in biological processes and molecular functions centered around epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) 25 , regulation of miRNA transcription and metabolism 26 , and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signaling. KEGG pathway analysis further highlighted significant enrichment in pathways related to adherents junctions, cell cycle regulation, and the FoxO signaling pathway, all critical for cellular proliferation and survival regulation. Moreover, pathways associated with other cancer types, such as chronic myeloid leukemia and pancreatic cancer, suggest shared oncogenic mechanisms across malignancies. Polygenic risk score We constructed a PRS including previously described and novel GWAS significant SNPs and evaluated its predictive performance in the EPIC and EPITHYR study, where 25 out of 27 SNPs were available. Compared with a previously published 10-SNP PRS 27 , our 25-SNP PRS demonstrated an approximately 2–3% improvement in AUC. Stratification by tumor size revealed that the 25-SNP PRS provided a substantially higher predictive power for larger tumors (> 10 mm vs ≤ 10 mm), with nearly 6% improvement over 10-SNP PRS (Fig. 3 and Supplementary Table 10), suggesting that PRS may be particularly useful for identifying individuals at higher risk of more advanced or larger carcinomas. Incorporating gene expression and protein abundance as predictors in a linear model led to a slight improvement in AUC (Supplementary Fig. 9). However, considering the computational intensity involved, the gain in predictive performance was minimal. Discussion A multi-omics approach integrating genome, transcriptome, and proteome uncovered novel genetic loci associated with DTC risk. Leveraging the largest GWAS to date with a substantial sample size provided robust statistical power, enabling us to identify 10 significant novel loci (1q41, 1q43, 6p21.1, 7q31.33, 8q24.22, 9p22.1, 10q22.3, 15q15.1, 19p13.2 and 22q12.1). We confirmed four previously suggested loci (1p31.3, 5p15.33, 16q23.2, and 19p12) 3 , along with nine established loci (1q42.2, 2q35, 3q26.2, 5q22.1, 8p12, 9q22.33, 10q24.33, 14q13.3, and15q22.33) 4 . TWAS and PWAS enable us to detect additional potential susceptibility loci at 1p36.22, 11q22.3, 14q22.2 and 20p12.2 not highlighted by GWAS. Well-established loci We validated nine previously reported DTC-associated loci, including 1q42.2, 2q35, 3q26.2, 5q22.1, 8p12, 9q22.33, 10q24.33, 14q13.3, and 15q22.33. Some of those loci has been analyzed in previous fine-mapping and/or functional studies 30 – 33 . Among these, 9q22.33 locus stood out significant across all omics layers. For instance, NANS was identified in TWAS, alongside other genes such as PTCS2 , FOXE1 , TRMO , TRIM14 , CORO2A , and HEMGN . NANS protein plays a role in amino acid and organic acid synthesis pathways, which are essential for tumor cell metabolism and growth. Interestingly, the effect (Z-scores) of NANS was negative in both normal and tumor tissues, aligning with findings from a recent proteome-wide MR study 34 that associated NANS with a decreased risk of DTC based on plasma proteomics. However, our PWAS using brain proteomic data revealed an opposing association, suggesting a potential conflicting effect between plasma and brain proteomic expression levels. The exact function of NANS in thyroid cancer remains unclear and warrants further investigation. Previously suggested loci Four loci (1p31.3, 5p15.33, 16q23.2, and 19p12) previously suggested as potential susceptibility genomics regions (P < 5.0x10 − 6 ), are now confirmed at genome-wide significance in our analysis. At 1p31.3, we identified rs334723 [G] (OR = 1.36; P = 3.66x10 − 11 ), within the NFIA locus. A previous GWAS found that rs334699[G] (r 2 = 0.97 with rs334723[G]) is associated with decreased TSH level 35 , and another previous MR analysis supports that decreased TSH levels increases DTC risk 36 . At 5p15.33, the lead variant rs7734992[C], (OR = 1.18; P = 1.40 x 10 − 16 ) is an intronic variant located in TERT gene. In the development of thyroid carcinoma, telomerase becomes activated by increasing transcription of the TERT gene, leading to elevated levels of TERT protein and subsequent activation of telomerase 37 . These promoter alterations are more common in aggressive subtypes such as poorly differentiated and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma 38 . At 16q23.2, we identified rs11645076[T], located within an intronic region. TWAS highlighted MPHOSPH6 in thyroid-relevant tissues, and MAFTRR when considering all tissues. MPHOSPH6 gene is associated with leucocyte telomere length and other cancers such as glioma or lung cancer 39 , 40 , though functional studies in thyroid cancer are limited. MAFTRR was reported to be over-expressed in patients with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (HT) 41 . Regarding the 19p12 locus, the lead variant rs8105767[G] maps to the gene ZNF257 , which shows colocalization between its cis- eQTL and DTC, but not causality by MR analysis. It encodes a transcription factor from the zinc finger family, though functional characterization of ZNF257 in thyroid cancer remains limited. According to GTEx data, ZNF208 gene, located near rs8105767, exhibits the highest expression in brain hypothalamus and thyroid tissues (Supplementary Fig. 10). Novel significant loci Among the 10 novel GWAS-significant loci, six (6p21.1, 7q31.33, 8q24.22, 10q22.3, 19p13.2, and 22q12.1) were identified through GWAS alone, three (1q41, 1q43, and 9p22.1) were further validated by TWAS, and one locus (15q15.1) was identified by all GWAS, TWAS, and PWAS. Novel loci identified by GWAS only Experimental studies have indicated that dysregulation of the VEGFA gene, located within ± 500kb of the lead variant rs1326141[A] at 6p21.1, may contribute to thyroid cancer progression 42 . The SNP rs11077 (approximately 3,000 bp downstream of rs1326141) was reported to be associated to the expression level of XPO5 gene and with increased risk of TC in a case-control study conducted in China 43 . 7q31.33 locus was previously associated to multiple cancers risk such as prostate, chronic lymphotic leukemia, colorectal, glioma 44 , 45 . The gene POT1 (located 400 kb away from our lead variant rs2299903[G]) plays a critical role in maintaining telomere integrity. A rare germline mutation in POT1 identified in a non-medullary thyroid cancer family impairs telomere binding and causes telomere elongation in vitro, suggesting that POT1 dysfunction may elevate thyroid cancer risk through telomere dysregulation 46 . 8q24 locus has been associated to risk for several cancers, including those of the prostate, colon, and ovary 47 . A multi-ethnic case-control study confirmed a significant association with approximately a 13% increased risk of thyroid cancer 48 , despite earlier inconsistent findings regarding its association with thyroid cancer. We reported a considerable number of significant SNPs at 10q22.3 located within DLG5 and showing high LD with the lead variant 1650149[G]. The DLG5 gene is identified as a partner gene in RET fusion, which commonly occur at the somatic level and are observed predominantly in approximately 2% of lung cancer and 10–20% of thyroid cancer 49 . At 19p13.2, rs4804416[G] located in an intronic region of the INSR gene, encodes the insulin receptor. A different SNP, rs919275, in the INSR gene (not LD with rs4804416) was weakly associated with PTC risk 50 . Interestingly, this gene was also previously identified in thyroid cancer GWAS in Korean population 51 , but did not achieve significance. At 22q12.1, rs186430430[C] (OR = 3.37; P = 1.40x10 − 22 ) in the intronic region of the CHEK2 gene has been associated to an increased risk of breast, prostate and colon cancer, while showing a protective association for lung and laryngeal cancer 52 . The variant is uncommon and relatively rare, with minor allele frequency (MAF) below 1%, and was analyzed only in deCODE genetics and FinnGen studies, which applied a broader quality control threshold (MAF < 0.01). However, it was not found in other studies (EPITHRY, EPIC, UKBB, and Italian), even with the same MAF threshold. The significance of the CHEK2 gene appears only in FinnGen study, likely due to the Finnish population’s genetic isolation and unique genetic variations compared to other European population 53 . Novel loci identified by GWAS and TWAS Three loci (1q41, 1q43, and 9p22.1) were identified through both GWAS and TWAS, with multiple genes located at the same loci. Determining causality among the genes located at the same loci is challenging as they may be associated with disease phenotypes through their correlation with disease-causal genes within the same LD regions. MR analyses using strong IVs and colocalization analyses revealed that expression of TGFB2 (1q41) and SDCCAG8 (1q43) were significantly associated with DTC risk. TGFB2 gene, encoding transforming growth factor beta 2, plays crucial roles in various cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis, and immune response. Our results align with the TCGA data analysis, which showed an inverse correlation between the expression of TGF-Beta family ligands, including TGFB2 , and the thyroid differentiation score 54 , 55 . This suggests that higher expression of these TGF-Beta family ligands is associated with decreased thyroid differentiation, contributing to cancer progression. SDCCAG8 gene, encoding a regulator of sonic hedgehog signaling and ciliogenesis, has been identified as genetically associated with both TSH levels and thyroid diseases 56 . This study highlighted that the TSH-decreasing allele variant in SDCCAG8 (rs10926981[T], r 2 = 0.72 with our lead SNP rs2451668) was associated with an increased risk of thyroid cancer. At 9p22.1, SAXO1 and HAUS6 genes were highlighted by the TWAS; however, MR analysis was only possible for HAUS6 and yielded no significance, while SAXO1 showed high SNP-level colocalization (PP4) but only moderate gene-level colocalization (PIP). Novel loci identified by GWAS, TWAS and PWAS A novel locus at 15q15.1 has been identified across all omics layers: RAD51 in GWAS, RAD51-AS1 in TWAS (hypothalamus) and RMDN3 (brain) in PWAS. These genes are located in close proximity, within 50 kb of each other, suggesting potential regulatory interactions. RAD51 plays a critical role in homologous recombination, a key DNA repair mechanism. Overexpression of RAD51 has been observed in various cancers, including thyroid carcinoma 57 . Long non-coding RNA RAD51-AS1 has been shown to be down-regulated by E2F1 58 and RAD51 protein by inhibiting its translation 59 . In this context, down-regulation of RAD51-AS1 could lead to upregulation of both E2F1 and RAD51 , potentially promoting thyroid carcinogenesis 57 , 60 . Our MR and eQTL analyses revealed an inverse association between RAD51-AS1 gene expression and a DTC risk, suggesting that RAD51-AS1 gene might mediate the regulation of E2F1 and RAD51 genes. Although the direct role of RMDN3 in thyroid cancer remains to be elucidated, its proximity to RAD51 and RAD51-AS1 at the 15q15.1 locus suggests that it may be part of a regulatory network affecting thyroid carcinogenesis. Novel loci identified by TWAS and PWAS The locus 14q22.2 was significant only in TWAS and PWAS, but not in the GWAS. These findings suggest that SAMD4A may influence DTC risk primarily through regulatory effects on gene expression and protein levels, rather than through direct genetic variants. SAMD4A has been identified as a tumor suppressor in breast cancer, potentially playing a role in inhibiting tumor-induced angiogenesis. Its expression is significantly reduced in breast cancer tissues and correlates strongly with poor patient survival 61 , while its role in DTC remains unstudied. TWAS findings from diverse tissues Leveraging all available tissues allowed to detect genes such as TERT and CLPTM1L in sun-exposed lower leg skin tissue, which might have been missed if we had focused solely on thyroid-relevant analysis. TERT promoter mutations, commonly induced by UV radiation, are associated with poorer prognosis in melanoma and are generally found in tumors located in intermittently sun-exposed areas 62 . Previous prospective studies have also shown that factors such as a higher number of nevi and greater residential UV exposure are associated with an increased risk of thyroid cancer 63 . While the direct effect of TERT mutations on thyroid cancer remains unclear, the shared oncogenic pathways between melanoma and thyroid cancer, such as the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK signaling pathway, suggest a potential role for these mutations in tumor progression and aggressiveness in thyroid cancer 64 . PWAS findings Proteins detected in plasma or brain may not accurately reflect the same biological processes occurring in thyroid-relevant tissues. PWAS results, based on proteomic data from plasma and brain, has limited statistical power due to a smaller sample size, a weaker biological connection to thyroid cancer, and the restricted number of proteins analyzed in ARIC and ROS/MAP studies. We identified seven proteins coded by genes across six loci. Three loci (1p36.22, 11q22.3, and 20p12.2) not identified in the GWAS and TWAS, were exclusively detected through PWAS. An interesting gene is KDELC2 , located on chromosome 11q22.3 alongside ATM gene, a key player in telomere maintenance and a master regulator of the DNA double stranded break (DSB) response. Both genes lie within the same LD block, therefore association with KDELC2 may reflect LD patterns with ATM . Indeed, rare pathogenic coding variants in ATM have been associated with breast, prostate, thyroid cancer, and pancreatic cancers 65 , 66 . The JAG1 gene, located at 20p12.2, was found to have significantly elevated expression levels in human thyroid cancer tissues and cell lines compared to normal thyrocytes, as demonstrated by quantitative real-time PCR analysis, suggesting the progression or development of thyroid cancer 67 . Enrichment analysis TGF-β signaling induces EMT and regulates miRNA expression, which modulates the TGF-β pathway and promotes the transition of epithelial cells to a more migratory mesenchymal phenotype. TGF-β plays an important role for the normal functioning of thyroid cells by preventing excessive cellular growth 68 . Also, downregulation of specific miRNAs, such as miR-145, has been linked to increased tumor aggressiveness 26 , 69 . Additional enriched processes encompass cellular stress responses, immune regulation, gene expression control, protein kinase activation, and telomere maintenance function. Interestingly, several pathways related to cardiac and pulmonary development were also implicated, suggesting possible shared molecular mechanisms between organogenesis and thyroid carcinogenesis. Strengths and limitations This study presents several key strengths. It is the largest GWAS meta-analysis of DTC to date, with 7,681 cases and 963,550 controls, providing strong statistical power to identify novel risk loci. A major strength lies in the integration of multi-omics approaches, combining cis -eQTL, cis -pQTL and MR, enabling causal inference and uncovering biological mechanisms underlying DTC risk. An updated PRS improves risk prediction, particularly for larger tumors (> 10 mm), with a ~ 6% increase in detection accuracy. The study also has limitations. First, restricting primary TWAS analysis to four thyroid-relevant tissues limited detection of well-established DTC-associated genes such as DIRC3 and FOXE1 , yet expanding tissue inclusion could introduce false positives by incorporating gene expression from unrelated tissues, potentially identifying non-causal genes due to partial correlation. To mitigate this, we applied MR under strict criteria, including MVMR for multiple genes within a single tissue, though it was not feasible to assess all gene-tissue combinations at a specific locus within a single MR model. Generally MR studies use a stringent clumping threshold (r 2 < 0.001) to avoid LD bias, but such thresholds often left only a single SNP per gene 70 , particularly for QTL-based exposures, which limited statistical power and made it difficult to detect and correct for pleiotropy. As a trade-off, we used a relaxed threshold (r 2 < 0.1) to increase the number of IVs, which may introduce some correlation among SNPs and weaken conditional F-statistics. Despite this, we observed consistent causal estimates even with relatively low conditional F-statistics (Supplementary Table 11). Secondly, our study focused on cis -QTL, excluding trans -QTL due to interpretative complexity. Lastly, as the study population was consisted of European ancestry, the generalizability to other ethnic groups is limited. Further researches including participants of Asian and African ancestry are essential to better understand genetic variations in DTC risk across diverse populations. In conclusion, this multi-omics approach enhances our understanding of how genetic variation, gene expression, and protein abundance contribute to DTC risk. The identification of the novel locus 14q22.2, significant only in TWAS and PWAS, demonstrates the value of this integrative strategy. Our findings emphasize the need for further functional studies to validate these genes and their biological roles in DTC.

Single tissue association tests for the four tissues were conducted using DTC GWAS summary statistics, JTI-derived gene expression weights and a SNP-correlation (LD) matrix from the 1,000 Genome Project through S-PrediXcan\\u003csup\\u003e\\u003cspan citationid=\\\"CR12\\\" class=\\\"CitationRef\\\"\\u003e12\\u003c/span\\u003e\\u003c/sup\\u003e.

The hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis suggests that proteomic profiles in blood plasma and brain tissue may influence DTC progression.

Proteomic analysis was conducted using isobaric tandem mass tag (TMT) peptide labeling and liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Samples were randomized into 50 batches to minimize batch effects based on age, sex, post-mortem interval, cognitive diagnosis, and pathologies. Genotypes were derived from whole-genome sequencing or genome-wide genotyping using Illumina OmniQuad Express or Affymetrix GeneChip 6.0 platforms\\u003csup\\u003e\\u003cspan citationid=\\\"CR16\\\" class=\\\"CitationRef\\\"\\u003e16\\u003c/span\\u003e\\u003c/sup\\u003e.

Of 4,877 SOMAmers, 4,657 passed quality control, identifying 4,483 unique proteins encoded by 4,435 autosomal genes. 1,350 proteins were significantly \\u003cem\\u003ecis-\\u003c/em\\u003eheritable and retained for PWAS analysis.\\u003c/p\\u003e\\u003cp\\u003eProtein weights were calculated using Functional Summary-based Imputation (FUSION)\\u003csup\\u003e\\u003cspan citationid=\\\"CR17\\\" class=\\\"CitationRef\\\"\\u003e17\\u003c/span\\u003e\\u003c/sup\\u003e, which estimates the association between brain and blood plasma proteins with DTC, utilizing the LD matrix from the 1,000 Genome Project. The genetic effect of DTC was computed by calculating the linear sum of GWAS Z-scores multiplied by the corresponding protein weights for independent SNPs. We applied false discovery rate (FDR) threshold of 0.05 to account for multiple testing.\\u003c/p\\u003e\\u003cp\\u003e\\u003cb\\u003eMendelian randomization\\u003c/b\\u003e\\u003c/p\\u003e\\u003cp\\u003eMR uses genetic variants, typically, SNPs, as an instrumental variable (IV) to estimate the causal association between exposure and outcome. This approach minimizes reverse causation and confounding bias, as genetic variants are randomized at conception. For SNPs to be valid, they must satisfy three assumptions: i) strong association with the exposure; ii) no direct association with the outcome except through the exposure (i.e., no directional horizontal pleiotropy); and iii) no association with confounders of the IV-outcome relationship.\\u003c/p\\u003e\\u003cp\\u003eWe performed LD clumping to obtain independent SNPs with threshold of r\\u003csup\\u003e2\\u003c/sup\\u003e \\u0026lt; 0.1 (instead of r\\u003csup\\u003e2\\u003c/sup\\u003e \\u0026lt; 0.001 in a standard MR analysis). This threshold was chosen based on a simulation study showing stable coverage rates up to a pruning threshold correlation of 0.16, while avoiding estimates due to multicollinearity emerging around a correlation of 0.36\\u003csup\\u003e18\\u003c/sup\\u003e. However, regulatory pleiotropy, especially within the same gene locus, can inflate type 1 error rates. To address this, we applied multivariable MR (MVMR) when a SNP was a \\u003cem\\u003ecis\\u003c/em\\u003e-eQTL for multiple genes\\u003csup\\u003e\\u003cspan citationid=\\\"CR19\\\" class=\\\"CitationRef\\\"\\u003e19\\u003c/span\\u003e\\u003c/sup\\u003e. For each gene identified through TWAS/PWAS, we considered all independent \\u003cem\\u003ecis-\\u003c/em\\u003eeQTLs/pQTLs with an FDR of 0.01 and included other associated genes in the model for each tissue (Supplementary Fig.\\u0026nbsp;1). To avoid multicollinearity, SNPs were clumped to retain only independent variants. The exposure (\\u003cem\\u003ecis-\\u003c/em\\u003eeQTLs/pQTLs) and outcome (DTC GWAS) data were harmonized to ensure the effect alleles aligned. For genes or proteins with a single independent \\u003cem\\u003ecis\\u003c/em\\u003e-QTL, we used the Wald ratio to estimate the causal effect on DTC risk. For those with multiple independent \\u003cem\\u003ecis\\u003c/em\\u003e-QTLs, we applied the inverse-variance weighted (IVW)\\u003csup\\u003e\\u003cspan citationid=\\\"CR20\\\" class=\\\"CitationRef\\\"\\u003e20\\u003c/span\\u003e\\u003c/sup\\u003e method, combining effect of multiple SNPs in a random-effects model. Finally, MVMR was used to account for pleiotropy when multiple \\u003cem\\u003ecis\\u003c/em\\u003e-QTLs were found across genes or proteins.\\u003c/p\\u003e\\u003cp\\u003e\\u003cb\\u003eColocalization Analysis\\u003c/b\\u003e\\u003c/p\\u003e\\u003cp\\u003eTo identify shared causal variants between significant GWAS loci and eQTL or pQTL signals, we performed a Bayesian colocalization analysis\\u003csup\\u003e\\u003cspan citationid=\\\"CR21\\\" class=\\\"CitationRef\\\"\\u003e21\\u003c/span\\u003e\\u003c/sup\\u003e. We focused on variants within ± 500kb of lead variants in each locus and estimated the posterior probability (PP) for five hypotheses: no association (H0), causal variant for GWAS only (H1), causal variant for eQTL or pQTL only (H2), two independent causal variants (H3), and a shared causal variant (H4). A high PP4 (≥ 0.80) indicates that a single variant likely influences both traits within the same genomic region, suggesting a shared causal signal. Additionally, a gene-level colocalization was conducted using FOCUS (Fine-mapping Of CaUsal gene Sets)\\u003csup\\u003e\\u003cspan citationid=\\\"CR22\\\" class=\\\"CitationRef\\\"\\u003e22\\u003c/span\\u003e\\u003c/sup\\u003e to identify the most likely causal genes associated with DTC risk. This Bayesian method integrates GWAS summary statistics with eQTL data to prioritize genes that mediate the association between genetic variants and DTC risk, providing credible sets of genes with posterior inclusion probabilities (PIP) that quantify the likelihood of each gene being causal for the trait.\\u003c/p\\u003e\\u003cp\\u003e\\u003cb\\u003eGene Set Enrichment Analysis\\u003c/b\\u003e\\u003c/p\\u003e\\u003cp\\u003eWe conducted enrichment analyses of the significant genes identified by GWAS, TWAS or PWAS using Enrichr across multiple resources, including Gene Ontology (GO) term and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) to explore the biological functions and pathway to DTC\\u003csup\\u003e\\u003cspan citationid=\\\"CR23\\\" class=\\\"CitationRef\\\"\\u003e23\\u003c/span\\u003e,\\u003cspan citationid=\\\"CR24\\\" class=\\\"CitationRef\\\"\\u003e24\\u003c/span\\u003e\\u003c/sup\\u003e.

The PRS included GWAS significant SNPs, and its predictive performance was tested on EPIC and EPITHYR studies, with beta estimates derived from analyses excluding these studies to ensure independent validation. Logistic regression was applied to examine the association between the PRS and DTC, adjusting for age, sex, and the first 10 principal components. We also developed a gene/protein-based PRS using TWAS and PWAS to enhance the predictive capability (Supplementary Methods 2). The predictive performance of the PRS model for distinguishing DTC cases from controls was evaluated by calculating the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC).\\u003c/p\\u003e\"},{\"header\":\"Results\",\"content\":\"\\u003cp\\u003e\\u003cb\\u003eGWAS analysis\\u003c/b\\u003e\\u003c/p\\u003e\\u003cp\\u003eThe overall GWAS Manhattan plot is presented in Fig.\\u0026nbsp;1.

Sixteen genes were located within six previously identified loci (3q26.2, 8p12, 9q22.33, 10q24.33, 14q13.3 and 15q22.33) while 13 genes were located at seven novel loci (1q41, 1q43, 9p22.1, 14q22.2, 15q15.1, 16q23.2 and 19p12) (Table\\u0026nbsp;\\u003cspan refid=\\\"Tab2\\\" class=\\\"InternalRef\\\"\\u003e2\\u003c/span\\u003e). Notably, all these loci, except 14q22.2, were also reported in the GWAS analysis above. Thirteen genes (7 known and 6 novel genes) had predicted expression negatively associated with DTC risk, while 16 genes (9 known and 7 novel) had predicted expression positively associated to DTC risk. These associations were further confirmed by an eQTL analysis, which explores the relationship between genetic variants affecting gene expression and those with DTC risk in corresponding tissues

PWAS results, based on proteomic data from plasma and brain, has limited statistical power due to a smaller sample size, a weaker biological connection to thyroid cancer, and the restricted number of proteins analyzed in ARIC and ROS/MAP studies. We identified seven proteins coded by genes across six loci. Three loci (1p36.22, 11q22.3, and 20p12.2) not identified in the GWAS and TWAS, were exclusively detected through PWAS.\\u003c/p\\u003e\\u003cp\\u003eAn interesting gene is \\u003cem\\u003eKDELC2\\u003c/em\\u003e, located on chromosome 11q22.3 alongside \\u003cem\\u003eATM\\u003c/em\\u003e gene, a key player in telomere maintenance and a master regulator of the DNA double stranded break (DSB) response. Both genes lie within the same LD block, therefore association with \\u003cem\\u003eKDELC2\\u003c/em\\u003e may reflect LD patterns with \\u003cem\\u003eATM\\u003c/em\\u003e.

Additional enriched processes encompass cellular stress responses, immune regulation, gene expression control, protein kinase activation, and telomere maintenance function. Interestingly, several pathways related to cardiac and pulmonary development were also implicated, suggesting possible shared molecular mechanisms between organogenesis and thyroid carcinogenesis.\\u003c/p\\u003e\\u003cp\\u003e\\u003cb\\u003eStrengths and limitations\\u003c/b\\u003e\\u003c/p\\u003e\\u003cp\\u003eThis study presents several key strengths. It is the largest GWAS meta-analysis of DTC to date, with 7,681 cases and 963,550 controls, providing strong statistical power to identify novel risk loci. A major strength lies in the integration of multi-omics approaches, combining \\u003cem\\u003ecis\\u003c/em\\u003e-eQTL, \\u003cem\\u003ecis\\u003c/em\\u003e-pQTL and MR, enabling causal inference and uncovering biological mechanisms underlying DTC risk. An updated PRS improves risk prediction, particularly for larger tumors (\\u0026gt;\\u0026thinsp;10 mm), with a\\u0026thinsp;~\\u0026thinsp;6% increase in detection accuracy.\\u003c/p\\u003e\\u003cp\\u003eThe study also has limitations. First, restricting primary TWAS analysis to four thyroid-relevant tissues limited detection of well-established DTC-associated genes such as \\u003cem\\u003eDIRC3\\u003c/em\\u003e and \\u003cem\\u003eFOXE1\\u003c/em\\u003e, yet expanding tissue inclusion could introduce false positives by incorporating gene expression from unrelated tissues, potentially identifying non-causal genes due to partial correlation. To mitigate this, we applied MR under strict criteria, including MVMR for multiple genes within a single tissue, though it was not feasible to assess all gene-tissue combinations at a specific locus within a single MR model. Generally MR studies use a stringent clumping threshold (r\\u003csup\\u003e2\\u003c/sup\\u003e\\u0026thinsp;\\u0026lt;\\u0026thinsp;0.001) to avoid LD bias, but such thresholds often left only a single SNP per gene\\u003csup\\u003e\\u003cspan citationid=\\\"CR70\\\" class=\\\"CitationRef\\\"\\u003e70\\u003c/span\\u003e\\u003c/sup\\u003e, particularly for QTL-based exposures, which limited statistical power and made it difficult to detect and correct for pleiotropy. As a trade-off, we used a relaxed threshold (r\\u003csup\\u003e2\\u003c/sup\\u003e\\u0026thinsp;\\u0026lt;\\u0026thinsp;0.1) to increase the number of IVs, which may introduce some correlation among SNPs and weaken conditional F-statistics. Despite this, we observed consistent causal estimates even with relatively low conditional F-statistics (Supplementary Table\\u0026nbsp;11). Secondly, our study focused on \\u003cem\\u003ecis\\u003c/em\\u003e-QTL, excluding \\u003cem\\u003etrans\\u003c/em\\u003e-QTL due to interpretative complexity. Lastly, as the study population was consisted of European ancestry, the generalizability to other ethnic groups is limited. Further researches including participants of Asian and African ancestry are essential to better understand genetic variations in DTC risk across diverse populations.\\u003c/p\\u003e\\u003cp\\u003eIn conclusion, this multi-omics approach enhances our understanding of how genetic variation, gene expression, and protein abundance contribute to DTC risk. The identification of the novel locus 14q22.2, significant only in TWAS and PWAS, demonstrates the value of this integrative strategy. Our findings emphasize the need for further functional studies to validate these genes and their biological roles in DTC.\\u003c/p\\u003e\"},{\"header\":\"Declarations\",\"content\":\"\\u003cp\\u003e\\u003cstrong\\u003eAcknowledgments\\u003c/strong\\u003e\\u003c/p\\u003e\\n\\u003cp\\u003eWe acknowledge the use of data and biological samples from the EPIC-Ragusa cohort, principal investigator Rosario Tumino; EPIC-Asturias, principal investigator José Ramón Quirós García; EPIC-Bilthoven, principal investigator Monique Verschuren, EPIC-Utrecht, principal investigator Roel Vermeulen.\\u0026nbsp;\\u003c/p\\u003e\\n\\u003cp\\u003eWe acknowledge deCODE Genetics, and FinnGen for sharing their GWAS summary statistics.

Although previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several susceptibility loci, the genetic, transcriptomic, and proteomic factors influencing DTC risk remain unclear. We conducted a large-scale GWAS of 7,681 cases and 963,550 controls of European ancestry. Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) used the joint tissue imputation across thyroid, pituitary, blood, and hypothalamus tissues. Proteome-wide association studies (PWAS) integrated brain and plasma proteomic data to identify proteins influencing DTC risk. Mendelian randomization (MR) and Bayesian colocalization were conducted to infer causality. GWAS identified 18 novel loci associated with DTC risk, four of which were previously suggested and are now confirmed. TWAS identified 29 significant genes, including five genes (\\u003cem\\u003eLRRC34\\u003c/em\\u003e, \\u003cem\\u003eNRG1\\u003c/em\\u003e, \\u003cem\\u003eHEMGN\\u003c/em\\u003e, \\u003cem\\u003ePTCSC3\\u003c/em\\u003e, and \\u003cem\\u003eSMAD3) \\u003c/em\\u003elocated within known loci and three novel genes (\\u003cem\\u003eSAMD4A, RAD51-AS1, \\u003c/em\\u003eand\\u003cem\\u003e MPHOSPH6\\u003c/em\\u003e) validated as causal through MR and Bayesian colocalization. PWAS identified seven significant proteins, with three (\\u003cem\\u003eMTHFR\\u003c/em\\u003e, \\u003cem\\u003eKDELC2\\u003c/em\\u003e, and \\u003cem\\u003eSAMD4A\\u003c/em\\u003e) confirmed as causal, further highlighting 15q15.1 as a novel risk locus consistently emerging across all omics layers. This integrated multi-omics approach reveals novel genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying DTC, linking genomic variation to gene expression and protein abundance.\\u003c/p\\u003e\",\"manuscriptTitle\":\"Large-scale association analysis identified novel differentiated thyroid carcinoma risk loci by integrating transcriptome and proteome\",\"msid\":\"\",\"msnumber\":\"\",\"nonDraftVersions\":[{\"code\":1,\"date\":\"2025-07-18 14:57:11\",\"doi\":\"10.21203/rs.3.rs-6751995/v1\",\"editorialEvents\":[{\"type\":\"communityComments\",\"content\":0}],\"status\":\"published\",\"journal\":{\"display\":true,\"email\":\"info@researchsquare.com\",\"identity\":\"researchsquare\",\"isNatureJournal\":false,\"hasQc\":true,\"allowDirectSubmit\":true,\"externalIdentity\":\"\",\"sideBox\":\"\",\"snPcode\":\"\",\"submissionUrl\":\"/submission\",\"title\":\"Research Square\",\"twitterHandle\":\"researchsquare\",\"acdcEnabled\":true,\"dfaEnabled\":false,\"editorialSystem\":\"\",\"reportingPortfolio\":\"\",\"inReviewEnabled\":false,\"inReviewRevisionsEnabled\":true}}],\"origin\":\"\",\"ownerIdentity\":\"cafcc243-56a3-4b1e-a058-5b33825bb099\",\"owner\":[],\"postedDate\":\"July 18th, 2025\",\"published\":true,\"recentEditorialEvents\":[],\"rejectedJournal\":[],\"revision\":\"\",\"amendment\":\"\",\"status\":\"posted\",\"subjectAreas\":[{\"id\":51579894,\"name\":\"Health sciences/Medical research/Genetics research\"},{\"id\":51579895,\"name\":\"Health sciences/Medical research/Epidemiology\"}],\"tags\":[],\"updatedAt\":\"2026-02-20T14:05:28+00:00\",\"versionOfRecord\":[],\"versionCreatedAt\":\"2025-07-18 14:57:11\",\"video\":\"\",\"vorDoi\":\"\",\"vorDoiUrl\":\"\",\"workflowStages\":[]},\"version\":\"v1\",\"identity\":\"rs-6751995\",\"journalConfig\":\"researchsquare\"},\"__N_SSP\":true},\"page\":\"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]\",\"query\":{\"redirect\":\"/article/rs-6751995\",\"identity\":\"rs-6751995\",\"version\":[\"v1\"]},\"buildId\":\"8U1c8b4HqxoKbykW_rLl7\",\"isFallback\":false,\"isExperimentalCompile\":false,\"dynamicIds\":[84888],\"gssp\":true,\"scriptLoader\":[]}","source_license":"CC-BY-4.0","license_restricted":false}
