Polymorphic variants INSIG2 rs6726538, HLA-DRB1 rs9272143, and GCNT1P5 rs7780883 contribute to the susceptibility of cervical cancer in the Bangladeshi women.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Cervical cancer is a gynecological health problem, affecting nearly 500,000 women each year worldwide. Genome-wide association studies have revealed multiple susceptible genes and their polymorphisms for cervical carcinoma risk. We have carried out this case-control study to investigate the association of INSIG2 rs6726538 (A; T), HLA-DRB1 rs9272143 (T; C), and GCNT1P5 rs7780883 (G; A) with cervical cancer.

Methods

The present study recruited 234 cervical cancer patients as cases and 212 healthy females as controls. We have applied the tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction (T-ARMS-PCR) method for genotyping.

Results

The SNP rs6726538 was significantly associated with increased risk of cervical cancer in all genetic mo
