Abstract excerpt
Using nucleotide sequencing-based genotyping, we conducted a case-control study to examine cervical cancer risk associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in a Japanese population. A consensus primer pair was used to amplify DNA from the L1 region of HPV by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). By PCR, 311 of 356 patients with cervical cancer and 333 of 3249 control individuals were positive for HPV. By the...
