Expression levels of the common mutated genes based on thyroid cancer stages. Gene expression of JMJD1C, MALAT1, MUC16, PDZD2, PKHD1, RYR1, SLA and TTN was analyzed across the different thyroid cancer stages deposited in the TCGA project using UALCAN data portal. Box-Whisker plots show the expression level of the indicated genes in 59 normal thyroid tissues (in blue), 284 PTC in stage 1 (in orange), 52 PTC in stage 2 (in brown), 112 PTC in stage 3 (in green) and 55 PTC in stage 4 (in red). Statistical differences were calculated using Student’s t-test. *p ≤ 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01; ***p ≤ 0.001
