GFI1 and rectal neoplasm: Significant associations between negative GFI1 mRNA expression and age groups (CI 0.55–12.27, P = 0.05), grade (CI 0.003–0.91, P = 0.05), left-sided tumours (CI 1.21–21.45, P = 0.02), and rectal tumours (CI 0.07 – 2.26, P = 0.04) were observed by univariate analysis (Table 3).
