## Abstract Human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA sequences are associated with the large majority of invasive cervical carcinoma but the role of specific genotype(s) in the outcome of the disease is still debated. To determine the viral epidemiology in the French population of patients and the prognostic

✦ Synopsis
The genes encoding human leukocyte antigens (HLA) have shown to be associated with cervical neoplasia. To obtain reliable data on HLA associations with cervical tumors, the study should be performed within a strictly defined cohort. To investigate the population attributable risk of cervical cancer associated with the HLA class II haplotypes DR15 and DQ6 (DQA1*0102 and DQB1*0602), we performed a nested case-control study of 85 women who developed invasive cervical cancer and 120 healthy women from a population-based cohort of Swedish women. The relative risks of cervical cancer among DR15 and DQ6-positive women were 3.73 [confidence interval (CI): 1.8-7.4] and 4.33 (CI: 2.1-8.5), corresponding to population attributable proportions of 27.9% and 30.8%, respectively. A susceptibility locus in the HLA class II region is involved in a substantial fraction of the etiology of cervical cancer.

Peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase (PPIase), PIN1, has been found to be a critical catalyst that involves in multiple oncogenic signaling pathways. Recently, several putative functional polymorphisms of the PIN1 gene have been identified to be associated with cancer risk. In this study, we tested t
## Abstract High‐risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) infection is the major risk factor for cervical cancer (CxCa). The role of genetic susceptibility in the disease has been suggested, but the existing data lack consistency. We conducted a nested case‐control study on 973 CxCa cases and 1,763 matche
