IL18 and Autoimmunity: 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.
