Our recent study demonstrated that the prevalence of NRAS codon 61 and TERT promoter (TERT‐p) mutations in STc is comparable to that in other carcinomas, including minimally invasive follicular thyroid carcinoma (mFTC) and widely invasive FTC (wFTC), suggesting that STc in NN is potentially a precursor lesion associated with PDTC [3]. The gene discussed is TERT; the disease is carcinoma.
