Many studies, including 2 genome-wide association studies, have identified susceptibility loci and genetic variants in cervical cancer.[28–30] Our previous studies have also found that 2 SNP loci in the SMUG1 gene are significantly correlated with susceptibility to cervical cancer and HR-HPV infection, further supporting the important role of genomic genetic stability in cervical cancer.[31]. This evidence concerns the gene SMUG1 and cervical carcinoma.
