We investigated differential expression between paired carcinoma and normal colorectal mucosa of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and miRNAs using RNA-Seq and Agilent Human miRNA Microarray V19.0 data, respectively, using a negative binomial mixed effects model to test 122 JAK-STAT-signaling genes in 217 colorectal cancer (CRC) cases. This evidence concerns the gene SOAT1 and colorectal carcinoma.
