The mRNA expression in Taiwanese colorectal cancer (CRC) paired tissues, polyps, and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset. (A) Boxplot of the SMAD3 mRNA expression level determined by quantitative reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction in 119 paired colon tissues and nine polyps from the Taiwanese population. (B) RNA sequencing data of SMAD3 in 41 matched CRC tumors from the TCGA dataset. Results are shown as mean ± standard deviation.
