Abstract:Background: Lymph node metastasis is the most common metastasis associated with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). There are few data on gene mutations associated with lymph node metastasis from PTC. At present, the mechanism underlying lymph node metastasis of PTC is still poorly understood.Methods: Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed for PTC of 10 primary tumor tissues and 10 lymph node metastasis tissues (non-match) for gene mutations. Gene ontology (GO) analysis was used to study biological function… Show more
