In addition, statistical analysis showed a trend towards an association between TP53 G72C SNP genotype and HPV infection ( P = 0.06; Table 3 ).
In addition, statistical analysis showed a trend towards an association between TP53 G72C SNP genotype and HPV infection ( P = 0.06; Table 3 ).
Furthermore, testing for deviation from HWE also showed a borderline significant deviation ( P = 0.07) for HPV-positive cases, meanwhile no significant deviation was observed for HPV-negative controls.
Indeed, the analysis of this nested case–control study shows that 93% (13/14) of patients with homozygous variant alleles ( A/A ) are HPV-positive compared to 82% (27/33) in heterozygous and 79% (42/53) in majority allele ( G/G ), suggesting a trend toward an association between the HPV-positivity and XRCC1 G399A genotype; however, it did not reach statistical significance ( P = 0.28; Table 3 ).
