Abstract excerpt
Penile carcinomas are frequently associated with high risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types. Because little is known about the molecular biology of this association, we investigated three properties of HPV genomes in penile carcinomas from Brazilian patients: (i) HPV DNA methylation, (ii) junctions between HPV and cellular DNA and (iii) genomic variation. In cervical carcinogenesis, recombination between HPV and...
