Article Synopsis
- HPV is linked to cervical cancer, but not all women infected develop the disease; SNPs in immune and cytokine genes may influence this risk.
- The study focused on TNF-α SNPs in urban women from Posadas, Argentina, comparing 56 cervical cancer cases with 113 controls through genetic analysis.
- Results indicated that the TNFα-307A variant significantly increases cancer risk, while the TNFα-375A variant appeared protective and was only found in controls, suggesting complex interactions between immune gene variations and cervical cancer susceptibility.
