Human papillomavirus 16 positive cervical cancer in Guatemala: The D2 and D3 sublineages differ in integration rate and age of diagnosis
2020-01-08
Abstract excerpt
Human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 displays substantial sequence variation; four HPV16 lineages (A, B, C, D) have been described, as well as multiple sub-lineages. To identify molecular events associated with HPV16 carcinogenesis we evaluated viral variation, the integration of HPV16, and somatic mutation in 96 cervical cancer samples from Guatemala. A total of 64% (60/94) of the samples had integrated HPV16 sequences,...
