Objective Cervical cancer is the second common malignancy in women. This is an immunogenic malignancy, and high-risk human papilloma virus (HPV) subtypes may cause its development. Persistent infection of high-risk HPV subtypes may significantly facilitate the development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, which has been confirmed as a major risk factor of cervical cancer. Regulatory T cells (Treg cells) are a group of mature T cells generated in the thymus following the induction of peripheral naïve T cells. They are essential for the inhibition of immune overreaction induced damage, but over-production of Treg cells may block the protective immune response to infection and tumors. FOXP3 (Forkhead box protein P3) is a key transcription factor in regulatory T cells (Tregs), and has important roles in the immunosuppressive functions in Tregs. The role of FOXP3 gene polymorphisms in cancer patients is not determined till now. Results We have investigated the association of rs2232365 (A to G) of FOXP3 gene with cervical cancer. rs2232365A/G polymorphism has been detected in cervical cancer (25 cases, 73.53% of cancer cases, p=0.03) and CIN (36 cases, 64.29% of CIN cases, p=0.02). We assume that rs2232365 polymorphism of the Foxp3 gene may contribute to the cervical cancer development.
