Using the gene expression profiling from 502 carcinoma thyroid tissues and 58 normal thyroid tissues from the TCGA database, we established the thyroid carcinoma-specific competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network and found nine overall survival (OS)-associated genes (PRDM1, TGFBR3, E2F1, FGF1, ADAM12, ALPL, RET, AL928654.2, AC128688.2). This evidence concerns the gene PRDM1 and thyroid gland carcinoma.
