HPV Variants and HLA Polymorphisms: The Role of Variability on The Risk of Cervical Cancer
17 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is linked to the development of cervical cancer, and several cofactors contribute to the risk of disease. Research on the intratypic variability of HPVs has defined variants that are associated with persistent infections and are potentially more oncogenic, translating to a higher risk of malignant disease. The genetic variability of the host also plays a role in the risk of...
