In contrast, several other loci are more commonly amplified in 3q26-amplified cervical carcinomas compared with non-amplified ones, and this difference is statistically significant for locus 19q13.2, which harbors the genes for kinases AKT2 and MAP3K10, and locus 8q24.21, which harbors the gene for transcription factor POU5F1B (Fisher’s exact test p = 0.03, Figure 5). This evidence concerns the gene POU5F1B and cervical carcinoma.
