On the other hand, two members of the annexin A (ANXA) calcium-regulated phospholipid-binding protein family, with opposite correlations with CIN, presented the highest correlation: ANXA7 (r 0·91, p < 0·001) and ANXA1 (r −0·83, p < 0·001). Here, ANXA7 is linked to cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia.
