CALR and thyroid gland carcinoma: A data-mining exercise of publicly available mass spectrometry-based proteomics datasets carried out in the dbDEPC database [39] found that certain cohorts of patients for various cancer-types have a tendency to show down-regulation of CRT protein expression i.e. tumoural CRTlow (between 0.20–0.60 fold less expression than corresponding normal tissue in case of thyroid cancer, hepatocellular cancer and breast cancer) (Fig. 5B).
