Identification of genes with universally upregulated or downregulated expressions in colorectal cancer.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND AIMS:Regional variations in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) rates have been observed. Limited epidemiological data are available from Australasia. IBD prevalence rates have never been assessed in an Australian population-based setting. In addition, there are few historical IBD incidence data to allow as...
