04 / Evidence and provenance
Why the record is included.
Inclusion basis
Named Saudi contribution to ICGC/ICGC ARGO with donor-level multi-omics and clinical-data milestones.
Editorial note
PTC-SA, Saudi Thyroid Cancer Genome Project and Molecular Signatures of Saudi Thyroid Cancer are treated as one project. It may overlap with larger KFSHRC thyroid clinicopathology/targeted-mutation cohorts; do not sum their sample counts.
