Of 117 DEGs, we identified the 12 DEGs (RPS18, USP33, CENPL, GAB2, RPS3A, RPS25, RPL30, HNMT, NME2, CEP57, ZC3H8, and TRIT1) most highly associated with disease-specific survival in stage II mucinous CRC (Figure 3, Supplementary Figure S1 and Supplementary Table S2). This evidence concerns the gene NME2 and colorectal carcinoma.
