Nonetheless, multiple studies assessing PVT1 expression by means of microarray technology (66–68) or RT-PCR using oligonucleotides amplifying several PVT1 isoforms, have shown a general overexpression of PVT1 in colorectal tumors compared to paired normal tissue samples (66, 68–74). The gene discussed is PVT1; the disease is colorectal neoplasm.
