Additionally, immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of a tissue microarray (TMA) containing 82 CRC tissues and 74 adjacent non-tumor tissues revealed a higher ILF3 positivity rate (96.0%, 79/82; P < 0.01) and a higher strong positivity rate (74%, 61/82; P < 0.01) in CRC tissues. The gene discussed is ILF3; the disease is neoplasm.
