Additionally, LN patients were divided into two groups according to the mean optical density of IFI16 expression (The mean optical densities of IFI16 expression were: glomerular high group = 0.0252 ± 0.0048 and low group = 0.0141 ± 0.0048; tubulointerstitial high group = 0.0681 ± 0.0145 and low group = 0.0335 ± 0.0083). This evidence concerns the gene IFI16 and lobular neoplasia.
