A different trend in the relevance of LRP16 and XIAP expression in our and the TCGA cohorts of patients with CRC might be attributable to the dynamic expression patterns of NF-κB target genes, which did not follow a standardized protocol and differed in the number of CRC samples analyzed and in the patient inclusion criteria, making it difficult to compare results between groups. Here, NFKB1 is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
