The immunoreactivity scores were also lower in CIS and SCC samples than in NC samples (Figure 1C, CIS vs. NC, P < 0.05; SCC vs. NC, p < 0.01), but there was no significant difference between the CIS and SCC samples (Figure 1C), suggesting that Slug is involved in the development of cervical carcinoma. The gene discussed is SNAI2; the disease is cervical carcinoma.
