Some target genes associated with these loci were previously reported as putative tumor suppressor in colorectal cancer including MUC12 [40], MTUS1 [38], and ARFGAP1/SMAP1 [41], while others were novel targets with putative role in colorectal carcinogenesis that deserves further analysis (NFE2L3, DGKI, ADAMTSL1, RASSF8, DCTN2, GLIPR1, and ASGR1). This evidence concerns the gene MUC12 and neoplasm.
