There were no significant differences in mRNA expression levels of NaV1.2, NaV1.6, NaV1.7 and NaV1.9 between cancerous cells and normal ovarian tissues while the expression levels of NaV1.1, NaV1.3, NaV1.4, and NaV1.5 were higher in ovarian cancer cells compared to normal ovary cells. This evidence concerns the gene SCN11A and ovarian carcinoma.
