Of these, 23 markers (BAD, BAX, CDH1, CDK6, CDKN1A, CDKN1B, CTNNB1, EGF, EGFR, FN1, HRAS, IRS2, KRAS, MAPK3, MDM2, MMP2, PDGFC, PIK3CA, PIK3R3, SMAD4, TGFB1, TGFBR2, TLR2) have been covered in the literature very widely, and multiple publications link these, largely through mutations, to many different cancers, including CRC. The gene discussed is PIK3CA; the disease is cancer.
