The genomes of three of four novel HPV types, defined by differences of their L1 genes, show high conservation of the E7 gene and the URR.

The DNA genomes of four new human papillomaviruses, HPV 75, HPV 76, HPV 77, and HPV 80, have been cloned, sequenced, and characterized. HPV 75, HPV 76 (both HPV 49-related), and HPV 77 (HPV 29-related) were isolated from benign cutaneous warts and HPV 80 (HPV 15-related) from histologically normal skin. HPV 77 has also been demonstrated in dysplastic warts and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin.
