Detection of high‐risk human papillomavirus E6 and E7 oncogene transcripts in cervical scrapes by nested RT‐polymerase chain reaction
13 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
The oncogenic potential of the high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes (types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66 and 68) depends on the expression of the two viral oncogenes E6 and E7. Thus, the detection of HPV E6/E7 oncogene transcripts could serve as a factor in the evaluation of a risk of development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and its progression to cervical cancer. A...
