LTA and cervical carcinoma: Further, we attempted to validate our results in another independent cervical cancer GWAS from the East Asian population (N = 3,314) and re-discovered four genes including WDR19, HLA-DOB, MICB and OR2B8P. In our subsequent co-expression analysis, we discovered SLAMF7 and LTA were co-expressed in TCGA tumor samples and showed both WDR19 and ITSN1 were enriched in “plasma membrane”.
