In addition, 58 probes (19 up- and 39 down-regulated) from the CRC vs. CRA comparison were among a list of 248 probes previously identified [11], including that for AURKA, which encodes a cell cycle-regulated kinase involved in CRC [28], and was over-expressed in CRC, as compared to CRA and NOR. Here, AURKA is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
