Abstract

It is meaningful to assess the risk of cancer incidence among patients with precancerous colorectal lesions. Comparing the within-sample relative expression orderings (REOs) of colorectal cancer patients measured by multiple platforms with that of normal colorectal tissues, a qualitative transcriptional signature consisting of 1,840 gene pairs was identified in the training data. Within an evaluation dataset of 16 active and 18 inactive (remissive) ulcerative colitis subjects, the median incidence risk score of colorectal carcinoma was 0.6402 in active ulcerative colitis subjects, significantly higher than that in remissive subjects (0.3114). Evaluation of two other independent datasets yielded similar results. Moreover, we found that the score significantly positively correlated with the degree of dysplasia in the case of colorectal adenomas. In the merged dataset, the median incidence risk score was 0.9027 among high-grade adenoma samples, significantly higher than that among low-grade adenomas (0.8565). In summary, the developed incidence risk score could well predict the incidence risk of precancerous colorectal lesions and has value in clinical application.
