There are some genes that have very log fold change values between patients with early-stage colorectal cancer and patients with metastatic colorectal cancer such as TRIM3, ABCB1, FOXA1, GRM8, LEFTY1, LYZ, HUNK, IFIT1, LY6G6D, MX1, RETNLB, RSAD2, SRFP2, and WIF1. Here, RSAD2 is linked to metastatic colorectal cancer.
