GJB2 and mycosis fungoides: In early-stage MF, we observed gene expression differences in cells of both the stroma and the immune system, with keratinocytes exhibiting increased interferon response and proliferation (STAT1, ICAM1, HLA-DRA, GJB2), while fibroblasts displayed tumour-associated programs (CXCL2, TNFAIP6, CEBPD).
