Both protein species of A1B (A1Ba, p = 0.008; f.c.= +1.62, A1Bb, p = 0.003; f.c. = +1.82) and A1ATa (p = 7.3E-04; f.c. = +2.29) were apparently overexpressed in patients with PTCa compared to those with BTG (Fig. 4, panels A–C) whilst patients with PTCb demonstrated higher expression of AHSG (p = 0.006; f.c. = +2.11) and APOA4 (p = 0.009; f.c.= +1.77) (Fig. 4, panels D and E). Here, APOA4 is linked to pituitary adenocarcinoma.
