On the other hand, expression levels of IFIT1 and IFIT2 were significantly down-regulated in colorectal adenocarcinoma compared with normal tissues (-3.95-fold with IFIT1 probe #203153, p=6.3x10-13; -1.42-fold with IFIT2 probe #217502, p=2.91x10-8, and -2.40-fold with IFIT2 probe #226757, p=1.1x10-12) [28]. This evidence concerns the gene IFIT2 and colorectal adenocarcinoma.
