Purpose: E-cadherin is a transmembrane glycoprotein with important roles in the maintenance of cervical squamous epithelium integrity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between E-cadherin-160 C/A polymorphism and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).

Methods: A case-control study was performed enrolling 70 CIN cases and 107 age-matched healthy controls.
