Abstract excerpt
Sequence variations in the E6/E7 (nt 34-880) and the L1-(nt 6584-7035) ORFs, and in the long control region (LCR) (nt 7289-93) of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) were analysed in five penile carcinoma biopsies obtained from Ugandan patients. Uganda is a country with a high incidence of genital cancers. All five isolates were classified as members of African-1 lineage (Af1) by phylogenetic analysis based on...
