IFIT2 and thyroid cancer: To identify the genes related to the prognosis of thyroid cancer, we utilized univariate Cox regression analysis and found that NOLC1 (p = 0.036), RPS27L (p = 0.011), TDRD9 (p = 0.016), TDRD6 (p = 0.002), IFIT2 (p = 0.037), and IFIT3 (p = 0.02) were prominently involved in the prognosis of thyroid cancer (Fig 2C; Table 1).
