Project description:1. Determination of serum expression level of HOTTIP and EIF4EBP1(Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1) .
2. Investigation of the SNP HOTTIP rs1859168 and it’s association with CRC susceptibility.
3. Determination of serum level of Interleukin -6 and its relation to other studied genes.
4. Correlation of the expression of these genes with various stages of CRC to determine the prognostic value of each of them.
