Proteogenomics analysis unveils a TFG-RET gene fusion and druggable targets in papillary thyroid carcinomas

Abstract

Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is one of the most common type of endocrine malignancy. Here, the authors use proteogenomic approaches to analyse the primary tumour and lymph node metastases from a PTC patient and report an oncogenic RET fusion, and potential druggable targets from the ubiquitin signaling machinery for treating human PTCs.
