DNA analysis indicates patient-specific human papillomavirus type 16 strains in Bowen's disease on fingers and in archival samples from genital dysplasia

Abstract excerpt

Human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 is casually involved in the pathogenesis of anogenital cancer and has also been demonstrated in some patients with Bowen's disease (BD) on the fingers. From two women with HPV 16 in BD on the fingers, and in archival samples from genital dysplasia, collected as long as 26 years ago, the non-coding region of the virus was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction and sequenced....
