Objective To search the colorectal adenoma related genes. Methods Differentially expressed genes of colorectal adenoma tissues and colorectal mucous membranes were identified by microarray-based detection. Part of differentially expressed genes were identified by semiquantitative RT-PCR. Results Among them,85 were leveled up.197 were leveled down.Conclusion In a general,comparison with normal colorectal mucous membranes,282 different expression genes were found in colorectal adenoma. Apoptosis and carcinoma related gene may play an important role in pathogenesis of colorectal adenoma.
