MICB and cervical carcinoma: In this validation analysis 18 out of 20 associated genes are found in the EAS population; among those, 4 genes (p = 1.47E-02 for WDR19, p = 2.65E-02 for HLA-DOB, p = 4.92E-02 for MICB and p = 1.78E-02 for OR2B8P) are identified to be also associated with cervical cancer at the nominal significance level of 0.05.
