a) 16p13.12-p13.11 alterations were more prevalent in EOCRC (33.3% vs 16.3%).b) 100% (34/34) EOCRC showed homozygous deletion in NOMO-1 gene, as compared to late-onset CRC, 2/17 (11.7%).c) microsatellite stable EOCRC showed high proportion of homozygous deletion in NOMO-1 gene (91.5%). Here, NOMO1 is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
