Figure 1. KCNN4 was differentially expressed in PTC and most other cancers. (A) The expression of the KCNN family in PTC was assessed using data from TCGA and GSE58689. (B) Heatmap of the top 50 significantly differentially expressed genes in GSE3678 and GSE9115, based on the adjusted p-value. (C) KCNN4 was overexpressed in multiple cancers in TCGA. The statistical significance of differential expression was evaluated using the Wilcoxon test. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001.
