Eleven coding genes were upregulated (KIF4A, KIF20A, MCM2, MCM5, TOP2A, RFC4, RAD51AP1, PLOD2, MMP12, PRC1, and AIM2) and 14 were downregulated (CXCL14, KRT1, KRT13, MAL, SPINK5, EMP1, CRISP3, ALOX12, CRNN, SPRR3, PPP1R3C, IVL, CFD, and CRCT1); these genes were found to be differentially expressed between cervical cancer and the controls. The gene discussed is MMP12; the disease is cervical carcinoma.
