Supplementary Table 1 and Supplementary Methods Table 1

Supplementary Table 1: Clinicopathological features, TERT-related molecular data and telomere lengths of analyzed thyroid tumor series expressed in a.u.f. (arbitrary units of fluorescence). Na: not available data. Supplementary methods table 1: Log2CPMs (log2 counts per million) normalized gene expression matrix of 26 genes involved in telomere maintenance (rows) for the 106 tumor series (columns). Tumor/gene expression cells of TERT probes with more than 3 normalized reads are colored in pink. The TERT_AVG row corresponds to the mean expression values of the 4 TERT probes for each tumor. Tumor cells with at least 1 probe with more than 3 reads are colored in pink and these were considered positive for TERT expression in subsequent analyses. Outlier gene expression thresholds used to generate the gene expression print in Figure 1B (TERC, TCAB1, DKC1, NAT10, TINF2 and POT1) are indicated. Two-tailed Mann-Whitney U-test p-value and FDR-adjusted p-value for the differential gene expression analysis between tumors classes (DF and PP) are included (colums DF and DG, respectively). DF: tumors from disease-free patients; PP: clinically aggressive tumors (PP, n=48).
