Our analyses showed that rs12646659 in VEGF‐C gene was correlated with a decrease the risk of cervical cancer in the dominant model (OR = 0.40, 95% CI = 0.19–0.86, p = .018 for the “C/G‐G/G” genotype) and log‐additive model (OR = 0.40, 95% CI = 0.19–0.86, p = .018) before and after adjustment for age, respectively. Here, VEGFC is linked to cervical carcinoma.
