DLG2 and neoplasm: DLG2 expression in the tumor tissue was lower than the paired mucosa sample (Log2 fold change = 1.89, p < 0.001), as well as the paired ascending and descending colon mucosa from the distal healthy colon tissue (Log2 fold change = 1.36, p < 0.05, Log2 fold change = 1.32, p < 0.05, respectively; Fig. 6a).
