However, the strongly positive rates of ezrin expression were absolutely negative in normal cervical epithelia (0%, 0/52), and lower in CIN (13.8% in CIN-1, 12.7% in CIN-2, and 22.2% in CIN-3) and CGIN (35.3%), but significantly higher in SCC (73.9%) and AC (88.9%) of the cervix (P<0.01) (Figure 1, Table 1). The gene discussed is EZR; the disease is cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia.
