A GWAS from China that included a discovery set of 1364 women with cervical cancer (cases) and 3028 female controls, revealed an association between HLA-DPB1 and HLA-DPB2 (HLA-DPB1/2) at 6p21.32 and cervical cancer (rs4282438) and also identified strong evidence of associations between cervical cancer and two new loci: 4q12 (rs13117307), in an intronic region of EXOC1, and 17q12 (rs8067378) in the GSDMB gene [79]. Here, HLA-DPB2 is linked to cervical carcinoma.
