Aberrant expression of MYD88 via RNA-controlling CNOT4 and EXOSC3 in colonic mucosa impacts generation of colonic cancer.

In 2020, the worldwide incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC) were third and second, respectively. As the 5-y survival rate is low when CRC is diagnosed at an advanced stage, a reliable method to predict CRC susceptibility is important for preventing the onset and development and improving the prognosis of CRC. Therefore, we focused on the normal colonic mucosa to investigate changes in gene expression that may induce subsequent genetic alterations that induce malignant transformation.
