Summary

Story summary

Meta-analytic studies show population-specific associations between XRCC3 gene variants and thyroid cancer risk, with rs1799794 significantly increasing global risk.
The rs861539 variant shows no significant associations, though publication bias exists in Caucasian populations.
Haplotype analyses reveal complex interactions that enhance risk prediction, with AACGA and GATAA indicating intensified monitoring.
High heterogeneity across studies suggests using advanced analytical methods to improve risk accuracy.
