Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the genetic variability of HPV18 in Iran, identifying its prevalence and lineage distribution among a sample population from 2019 to 2021.
- Researchers analyzed 60 confirmed HPV18 cases, using molecular techniques to extract and amplify the E6 gene, successfully sequencing it for 43 samples.
- The results showed that sublineage A4 was the most common, comprising 69.7% of cases, followed by A1 and A3, while A2 and A5 were not detected, highlighting the need for further investigation into these sublineages and their impact on infection progression.
Background: Human papilloma virus (HPV) causes the most common sexually-transmitted infection especially among sexually-active individuals. The aim of study was to characterize the molecular characterization of HPV genotypes between 5176 female and male patients.
Methods: HPV DNA was extracted from genital swabs of the study participants and amplified by Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).
