Previous research has demonstrated that CITED1 overexpression markedly increases proliferation in nephroblastoma (68) and enhances invasion and metastasis in thyroid-like cancer cells (69) Notably, CITED1 is the risk gene with the smallest absolute value in the PTRS model, leading us to hypothesize that it contributes to the progression of UM. The gene discussed is CITED1; the disease is thyroid gland disorder.
