The Cervical Cancer gene DataBase (CCDB) is a database of genes involved in the cervical carcinogenesis.[1] The Cervical Cancer Database is the first database that has been manually curated.[2] The database serves as an entity for clinicians and researchers to examine basic information as well as advanced information about the genes that differentiates into cervical cancer.[3] There are 537 genes that have been cataloged into the CCBD. The genes that have been cataloged based on polymorphism, methylation, amplification of genes, and the change in how the gene is expressed. Science investigators have examined data that compared normal cervical cells with malignant cervical cells which has been used to study the different gene expressions that result in cervical cancer. Of the 500,000 women that have succumbed to cervical, most are from developing countries as well as of the low socioeconomic level in developed countries. The CCBD is designed to present information that will novel therapeutic treatments for leading cause of cancer within the population of women.[4]
