In contrast, PTBP3 showed lower expression in the tumours of kidney chromophobe (KICH), kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), and thyroid carcinoma (THCA) (all p < 0.05) relative to the corresponding adjacent normal tissues. Here, PTBP3 is linked to thyroid gland carcinoma.
