0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Based on these results, the mechanism of CK7 and CD117 expression in the transitional mucosa adjacent to colorectal cancer may be different, and analysis of their individual expression may provide novel insights into the development and progression of colorectal cancer. 28693143 2017
CUI: C0009402
Disease: Colorectal Carcinoma
Colorectal Carcinoma
0.100 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE All 9 of the GISTs had either KIT (8 of 9) or PDGFRA (1 of 9) mutations that were not present in their associated CRCs. 27806309 2016

CUI: C0009402
Disease: Colorectal Carcinoma
Colorectal Carcinoma
0.100 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE The RASKET KIT provides rapid and precise detections of RAS mutations and consequently, quicker and more effective anti-EGFR therapy for CRC (Study ID: UMIN000011784). 26137573 2015
CUI: C0009402
Disease: Colorectal Carcinoma
Colorectal Carcinoma
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE In this study, we investigated genes that are regulated in human colorectal cancer and by the L1-NF-κB pathway that has been implicated in liver metastasis. c-Kit was the most highly suppressed gene in both colorectal cancer tissue and the L1-NF-κB pathway. c-Kit suppression that resulted from L1-mediated signaling relied upon NF-κB, which directly inhibited the transcription of SP1, a major activator of the c-Kit gene promoter. 24008320 2013
