Contribution of TMC6 and TMC8 (EVER1 and EVER2) variants to cervical cancer susceptibility
AssociationN=5,270Felipe A. Castro et al.(2012)· International Journal of Cancer

This candidate gene study evaluated 22 SNPs in the TMC6/8 (EVER1/2) genes in 2,989 Swedish cervical cancer cases (CIN III/ICC) and 2,281 controls. Two SNPs showed significant association with cervical cancer susceptibility: rs2290907 (OR=0.6, 95% CI: 0.3-0.9, p=0.02) in TNRC6C and rs16970849 (OR=0.8, 95% CI: 0.66-0.98, p=0.03) in TMC8, supporting the role of the TMC6/8 region in cervical cancer risk.

About TMC8

Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) is an autosomal recessive dermatosis characterized by abnormal susceptibility to human papillomaviruses (HPVs) and a high rate of progression to squamous cell carcinoma on sun-exposed skin. EV is caused by mutations in either of two adjacent genes located on chromosome 17q25.3. Both of these genes encode integral membrane proteins that localize to the endoplasmic reticulum and are predicted to form transmembrane channels. This gene encodes a transmembrane channel-like protein with 8 predicted transmembrane domains and 3 leucine zipper motifs. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
