When analyzing the Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for these genes we noted that, for the comparison of normal to cancer samples, MEG3 and MALAT1 had the highest Area Under the Curve (AUC), while when comparing normal vs. CIN, MLH1 and DAPK1 presented the highest AUC. Here, DAPK1 is linked to cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia.
