LZTS1 and colorectal carcinoma: To unravel the exact role of LZTS1 in colorectal carcinogenesis, we performed the bioinformatic analysis of LZTS1, including expression differences, correlations between expression levels and survival, methylation status of LZTS1 promoter and related cellular pathways based on TCGA dataset, GEO databases and our own CRC patient cohort.
