Association of clinical features and methylation scores in the validation cohort. The scatter plots depict methylation scores in relation to pathology (A), age (B), gender (C), ACR TI-RADS (D), and nodule sizes (E). The black horizontal line represents the median methylation levels. BTN, benign thyroid nodule; MTN, malignant thyroid nodule; BTMN, benign thyroid micronodule; PTC, papillary thyroid carcinoma; PTMC, papillary thyroid microcarcinoma. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
