DEFA5 and colorectal carcinoma: Finally, DEFA5 was detected at significantly higher expression levels in the blood of CRC and IID patients compared to healthy controls; however, there was no clear apparent difference between the two disease groups (CRC—median: 3.46 [EU], range: 0–138.00 [EU]; IID—median: 4.87 [EU], range: 0–47.80 [EU]; healthy—median: 1.08 [EU], range: 0–13.47 [EU]; CRC vs. IID p = ns; CRC vs. healthy p = 0.023; IID vs. healthy p = 0.003) (Figure 2D).
