There is a pertinent need to develop prognostic biomarkers for practicing predictive, preventive and personalized medicine (PPPM) in colorectal cancer metastasis. The analysis of isoform expression data governed by alternative splicing provides a high-resolution picture of mRNAs in a defined condition. This information would not be available by studying gene expression changes alone.

Aim: The study aims to understand the role of tumor suppressor genes in colorectal cancer initiation and progression.

Background: Sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC) develops through distinct molecular events. Loss of the 18q chromosome is a conspicuous event in the progression of adenoma to carcinoma.

CDC42 (cell division cycle protein 42) belongs to the Rho GTPase family that is known to control the signaling axis that regulates several cellular functions, including cell cycle progression, migration, and proliferation. However, the functional characterization of the gene in mammalian physiology remains largely unclear. Here, we report the genetic and functional characterization of a non-consanguineous Saudi family with a single affected individual.
