Of the 42 mRNAs that were differentially expressed for overall CRC with a FC >1.50 or <0.67, 16 encoded for receptor proteins, 11 encoded for cytokines, two encoded for hormones, two encoded for STATs (STAT1 and STAT4) and two for SOCs (SOCS2 and SOCS7). This evidence concerns the gene SOCS2 and colorectal carcinoma.
