Differences in miRNA and mRNA Profile of Papillary Thyroid Cancer Variants

Figure 1

Principal Components Analysis of miRNA expression (a) and gene expression (b) data. fvPTC samples and tcPTC samples gather in 2 barely overlapping clusters (left and right parts of the plots, resp.). fvPTC and tcPTC difference represents the 1st principal component in both datasets; thus, it is the main source of miRNA and mRNA expression variability in the entire experiment.
