Background: Optimal molecular markers for detecting colorectal cancer (CRC) in a blood-based assay were evaluated. Microarray technology has shown a great potential in the colorectal cancer research. Genes significantly associated with cancer in microarray studies, were selected as candidate genes in the study. Pooling Internet public microarray data sets can overcome the limitation by the small number of samples in previous studies. Objective: Using public microarray data sets verifies gene expression profiles for colorectal cancer. Methods: Logistic regression analysis was performed, and odds ratios for each gene were determined between CRC and controls. Public microarray datasets of GSE 4107, 4183, 8671, 9348, 10961, 13067, 13294, 13471, 14333, 15960, 17538, and 18105 included 519 cases of adenocarcinoma and 88 controls of normal mucosa, which were used to verify the candidate gene..
