Defensin alpha 6 (<it>DEFA 6</it>) overexpression threshold of over 60 fold can distinguish between adenoma and fully blown colon carcinoma in individual patients

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>It is known that alpha-defensin expression is enhanced in colon cancer. However, the expression of human alpha defensin 6 (DEFA 6) in earlier stages, such as adenoma, has so far not yet been studied in a patient resolved manner.</...
