Likewise, the Human Protein Atlas portal (http://www.proteinatlas.org), a Swedish-based program initiated in 2003 with the aim to map all the human protein in cells, tissues, and organs, showed that CD47 RNA levels could be a favorable prognostic marker for the survival of patients with thyroid papillary carcinoma. This evidence concerns the gene CD47 and thyroid gland papillary carcinoma.
