Thyroid autonomy is a frequent cause of thyrotoxicosis in regions with iodine deficiency. Epidemiological data suggest that the prevalence of thyroid autonomy is not only inversely correlated with the ambient iodine supply, but that iodide may also influence the course of pre-existing thyroid autonomy with possibly different effects on thyroid growth and function.

View SamplesWe report data obtaibed from high-throughput sequencing of small RNAs in 20 samples of follicular thyroid tumors. We analyzed a total of 4.7±1.5million reads per sample with 3 different pipelines. The main goal was to evaluate the usefulness of next generation sequencing in small RNA profiling and the concordance of its results with microarrays and qPCR. Additionally we verified published follicular thyroid tumor biomarkers in the set of our samples. Overall design: Small RNA expression profiling with High Throughput Sequencing of 20 thyroid tumor samples, performed on an Illumina HiScan-SQ.
