RT-qPCR analysis was performed to determine whether the expression of RIPOR2 was altered in premalignant lesions of the cervix comprising low and high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL and HSIL) and normal samples with HPV infection, compared to normal HPV negative samples. The gene discussed is RIPOR2; the disease is squamous cell intraepithelial neoplasia.
