Next generation sequencing data (MSK-IMPACT) from CRC patients was used to interrogate SOX9, KRAS, NRAS, BRAF, TP53, APC, and PIK3CA. Mutant and wild type (WT) SOX9 cases underwent immunohistochemical (IHC) staining to assess protein expression. This evidence concerns the gene NRAS and colorectal carcinoma.
