On the other hand, one putative oncogene located very close to CDH4 on 20q13.33 region, ADRM1, was found to be significant overexpressed in the CRC tissues (P < 0.05; Additional File 2: Fig. S2A, right) but not be associated with patients’ survival (Additional File 2: Fig. S2B, right). Here, ADRM1 is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
