Overall, and apart from the above-mentioned specific associations (MMR-associated lncRNAs and DNA repair, CIMP-associated lncRNAs and NFκB/TNFα), we observed strong associations with immune-system-related gene sets and a general association with the VEGF signaling pathway for all groups of lncRNAs except CIN-associated lncRNAs. This evidence concerns the gene NFKB1 and cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia.
