Runx2, a master gene of osteogenic differentiation, is also expressed in nonosseous cancer cells. Microcalcifications are characteristic of papillary thyroid carcinoma and represent a useful find for diagnosis. However, the molecular expression of osteogenic differentiation transcription factor Runx2 has been poorly investigated in this tumor.
