Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the etiological agent of cervical cancer. HPV genotyping is important to determine the presence of high-risk types. Recently, a new HPV genotyping method, the Roche Linear array genotyping test, was introduced and is compared here with a sequencing-based HPV genotyping system. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A series of 102 women (age range 30-55 years) shown to be HPV...
