Association between Pax8-PPARandgamma;1 Rearrangement and Follicular Thyroid Cancer: a Meta-Analysis.

Background: Pax8 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma 1 gene (Pax8-PPARγ1) are important factors in tumors. Several studies have suggested that follicular thyroid cancer may arise from Pax8- PPArγ1 rearrangement. In order to have a better understanding of the association between Pax8-PPARγ1 rearrangement and follicular thyroid cancer, we conducted the presenmt meta-analysis.
