Asian-American variants of human papillomavirus type 16 have extensive mutations in theE2 gene and are highly amplified in cervical carcinomas
12 Nov 1999
Abstract excerpt
Human-papillomavirus (HPV)-E2 protein is involved in gene-expression regulation and replication of HPV genome. Disruption of the E2 gene during viral integration has been proposed as a mechanism of tumoral progression, since the expression of E6/E7 viral oncogenes is allowed. However, retention of E1/E2 genes and high viral amplification are frequently found in HPV16-positive carcinomas of some populations. In...
