Our results showed that the expressions of only IGLC5 and IGLC7 among all IGLCs had significant difference in different pathologic M categories of CESC (Fig. 2E, G), while the expressions of IGLC1-4, 6 had no significant difference in different pathologic M categories of CESC (Fig. 2A-D, F). Here, IGLC5 is linked to cervical squamous cell carcinoma.
