In regard of HDR variants in HPV‐positive carcinomas, it is interesting to note that Fanconi anaemia patients have a high susceptibility to HPV‐induced oral or anogenital carcinomas including cervical cancer, and several HDR genes including BRCA1, BRCA2, BRIP1 and SLX4 are also Fanconi anaemia genes.16 This evidence concerns the gene SLX4 and cervical cancer.
