Core Tip

Core tip: In this study, we summarized and analyzed the mRNA expression data of TCGA-COAD and obtained the expression features of AMPD2 in cancer tissues and adjacent tissues in patients with colorectal cancer. We constructed cell samples that were not subjected to high-throughput sequencing of RNA-seq, and although the results were closer to clinical reality, in the case of verification experiments, the probability of false negatives was increased. In addition, our cytology validation experiments need to be carried out in more detail, and our colorectal cancer cohort sample was only 201 cases. We expect to add cytological evidence and a large sample of prospective prognostic cohorts in subsequent studies.
