DEPTOR was also found to be overexpressed in thyroid carcinoma cells and tissues, and thyroid carcinoma patients showing high DEPTOR expression were found to be susceptible to earlier recurrence and poorer survival chances [9] and overexpression of DEPTOR was also found to correlate with the poor survival rate in patients with multiple myeloma [4, 49]. The gene discussed is DEPTOR; the disease is thyroid gland carcinoma.
