As shown in Figures 3A, B, HMMR levels in blood samples were not significantly different between patients with CRC and healthy controls in the GSE164191 and GSE47756 datasets; but HMMR levels, analyzed by ELISA, were significantly elevated in blood samples from patients with CRC than in those from healthy controls (Figure 3C, p < 0.01). The gene discussed is HMMR; the disease is colorectal carcinoma.
