Black Americans (BA) have a higher incidence and mortality rate from colorectal cancer compared to their Non-Hispanic White American (NHWA) counterparts. Even when controlling for sociodemographic differences between these two populations, BA remain disproportionately affected by colorectal cancer. The purpose of our study was to determine if differences in gene expression between BA and NHWA colon cancer specimens could help explain differences in the incidence and mortality rate between these two populations. BA and NHWA undergoing colon resection for stage I, II, or III colon cancer at a single institution were identified. BA and NHWA patients were matched for age, gender, and colon cancer stage to minimize the risk of confounding variables. Tissue samples were obtained at the time of colon resection and were analyzed using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) to determine if there were differences in the expression of genes and biologic processes between the two groups. A total of 17 colon cancer specimens were analyzed; 8 (47.1%) patients were BA. A total of 456 genes were identified as being expressed differently (i.e. up- or down-regulated) in BA compared to NHWA colon cancer specimens. Moreover, 500 different genetic pathways were noted to be significantly over-represented with differentially expressed genes in our comparison of BA and NHWA colon cancer specimens, the majority of which plays a role in inflammation and immune cell function. Significant differences in gene expression and genetic pathways exist between BA and NHWA. Additional and multi-institutional and registry-based studies are needed to validate our findings and to further elucidate the contribution that these differences have to the overall incidence and mortality rate from colon cancer in these two patient populations. The incidence and mortality rate from colon cancer varies significantly between Black Americans (BA) and Non-Hispanic White Americans (NHWA). This study used RNA-Seq to identify difference in expression of 456 genes and 500 genetic pathways between BA and NHWA colon cancer specimens, which may help to explain differences in the progression of colon cancer between these two populations.
