Table 3 reports the tumors sorted from the lowest to the highest “Knowledge-based Autoimmunity Score” (kb-AS) according to Table 1. As indicated by the asterisks, expression of NOD2, BAX, IL-18 and ADRB2 is significantly altered mostly in cancer types showing the highest autoimmunity scores, further supporting the possible role of such genes in the interplay between autoimmunity and cancer. This evidence concerns the gene IL18 and cancer.
