The first GWAS of cervical cancer on mostly Swedish patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) III revealed that rs2516448 C/T (near MICA), rs9272143 T/C (between HLA-DRB1 and DQA1), and rs3117027C/A (at HLA-DPB2) are associated with CIN III5. This evidence concerns the gene HLA-DPB2 and cervical cancer.
