Figure 3. Schematic model of the regulations among rs3213245 and XRCC1 involved in cervical cancer development.
The transcription factor Krox-20 was recruited to the Sp1 binding motif. The rs3213245 C>T polymorphism may change the binding affinity of the transcription factor Sp1-Krox-20 complex to the mutation region, thereby regulating the expression of the XRCC1 gene and ultimately leads to cervical cancer development.
