IL18R1 and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia: Other studies have shown overexpression of genes directly or indirectly related to inflammation, such as the transcriptomic analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with cervical cancer (CC) versus cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and healthy tissues by Ndiaye et al. [48], where IL1R2 and IL18R1 were significantly overexpressed.
