The study first analyzed the association of rs767649 with cervical cancer risk
The association was determined through a two-stage case-control study with 1157 cases and 1280 controls
The rs767649 linked to reduced risk of CC, especially among the women older than 49 years or women at menopause.
Transition of rs767649 A to T allele lead to miR[HYPHEN]155 downregulation, which may contribute to decreased risk of CC.
