Transcriptomic landscape of early age onset of colorectal cancer identifies novel genes and pathways in Indian CRC patients.

ABSTRACT: Past decades of the current millennium have witnessed an unprecedented rise in Early age Onset of Colo Rectal Cancer (EOCRC) cases in India as well as across the globe. Unfortunately, EOCRCs are diagnosed at a more advanced stage of cancer. Moreover, the aetiology of EOCRC is not fully explored and still remains obscure. This study is aimed towards the identification of genes and pathways implicated in the EOCRC. In the present study, we performed high throughput RNA sequencing of colorectal tumor tissues for four EOCRC (median age 43.5 years) samples with adjacent mucosa and performed subsequent bioinformatics analysis to identify novel deregulated pathways and genes. Our integrated analysis identifies 17 hub genes (INSR, TNS1, IL1RAP, CD22, FCRLA, CXCL3, HGF, MS4A1, CD79B, CXCR2, IL1A, P
