MFAP2 is a Potential Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarker That Correlates with the Progression of Papillary Thyroid Cancer.

Background: Microfibril-associated protein 2 () is a protein coding gene that exerts important phenotypic effects on cell motility, and increasing research has indicated that MFAP2 was correlated with many cancers. However, the functional and potential clinical role of in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) has not yet been verified.

Materials And Methods: We performed whole transcriptome sequencing on 78 paired PTC tissues and corresponding adjacent normal tissues and found that was highly expressed in PTC tissues.
