Veracyte%2C+Inc. (Nasdaq: VCYT) announced findings from a large-scale, systematic literature review showing that TERT promoter gene mutations in thyroid nodules deemed indeterminate by cytopathology are rare, but have a high risk of malignancy and, in certain cases, are associated with aggressive tumor behavior. The data are being presented at the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE) 2023 Annual Meeting, being held May 4-6 in Seattle, and reinforce the value of Veracyte’s expanded Afirma offering, which now includes TERT promoter mutation testing.
