Abstract:
1. A method for detecting the presence of colon cancer in a patient comprising (a) determining levels of a polynucleotide comprising SEQ ID NO:1 or a polypeptide encoded thereby, in cells, tissues or bodily fluids in a patient; and (b) comparing the determined levels of the polynucleotide comprising SEQ ID NO:1 or the polypeptide encoded thereby with levels of the polypeptide comprising SEQ ID NO:1 or the polypeptide encoded thereby in cells, tissues or bodily fluids measured in a normal human control, wherein a change in determined levels of the polynucleotide comprising SEQ ID NO:1 or the polypeptide encoded thereby in said patient versus levels of the polynucleotide comprising SEQ ID NO:1 or the polypeptide encoded thereby measured in a normal human control is associated with the presence of colon cancer.
