Objective: To study the association of BTG3, CASP9 and LRP4 single-nucleotide polymorphisms with susceptibility to papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Methods: The BTG3 rs9977638, CASP9 rs884363 and LRP4 rs898604 genotypes of 175 PTC patients and 175 controls were analyzed. Results: Rs9977638 TC genotype and CC genotype, rs884363 CC genotype and rs898604 GG genotype were related to a lower PTC susceptibility risk (p < 0.01). The risk of PTC susceptibility was higher when carrying BTG3 rs9977638 CC, CASP9 rs884363 AC and LRP4 rs898604 AG at the same time (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Combined BTG3, CASP9 and LRP4 genotype analysis has a certain application value in the diagnosis of PTC.
