Using GEPIA2, UALCAN, cBioprotocol and HPA databases, the IL-1 family and related genes (IL-1α, IL-1β, IL1RN, IL1R1, IL1R2, IL1RL1, IL1RL2, IL1RAP, IL1RAPL1, IL1RAPL2, IL1F10, IL18, IL18BP, IL18R1, IL18RAP, IL36A, IL36B, IL36G, IL36RN, IL33, IL37, SIGIRR, CASP1, AIM2) were analyzed for their expression and prognostic relevance in HNSCC. The gene discussed is IL18RAP; the disease is head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
