Transcript data from a set of nine normal mucosas and 18 microdissected MSS-adenocarcinomas analysed on Exon1.0ST-arrays (set 4, (Thorsen et al, 2008)) showed that KIAA1199 transcript expression correlated very well with the expression of 37 genes known to be involved in Wnt/β-catenin-signalling (Pearson's coefficient 0.5–0.9) (Table 1). This evidence concerns the gene CEMIP and adenocarcinoma.
