Associated Genetic Biomarkers

Overview

NCI Definition: The most common type of colorectal carcinoma. It is characterized by the presence of malignant glandular epithelial cells invading through the muscularis mucosa into the submucosa. Histologic variants include mucinous adenocarcinoma, signet ring cell carcinoma, medullary carcinoma, serrated adenocarcinoma, cribriform comedo-type adenocarcinoma, and micropapillary adenocarcinoma. [1]

Colorectal adenocarcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, APC, KRAS, PIK3CA, and SMAD4 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Colorectal Adenocarcinoma

APC Mutation, TP53 Mutation, TP53 Missense, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, and KRAS Mutation are the most common alterations in colorectal adenocarcinoma [2].
