Interestingly, another study analyzing Beclin1 expression in CRC patients has shown that those patients with a high Beclin1 expression had a better chance of being disease-free and had a better overall survival rate as compared to those with lower Beclin1 expression, indicating that high Beclin1 expression could serve as a favorable prognostic marker in CRC [150]. The gene discussed is BECN1; the disease is colorectal carcinoma.
