Abstract excerpt
Infection by high-risk human papillomavirus is known to exacerbate cervical cancer development. The host immune response is crucial in disease regression. Large-scale genetic association studies for cervical cancer have identified few susceptibility variants, mainly at the human leukocyte antigen locus on chromosome 6. We hypothesized that the host immune response modifies cervical cancer risk and performed three...
