Genome-wide and Polygenic Risk Score Analysis of High-Risk Human Papillomavirus (hrHPV) Infection in the Cervix Background Cervical high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) infection is the second largest carcinogenic infection globally, accounting for approximately 31.4% of all infection-related cancers (about 690,000 cases out of 2.2 million cancer...

This study aims to explore the relationship between copy number variations (CNVs) involving the NR0B1 (DAX1) gene and 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis. 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis (GD) is a disorder of sex development caused by the failure of gonads to fully differentiate into testes. This condition can lead to individuals presenting with female or ambiguous ...
