Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the PANArray human papilloma virus (HPV) test, a PCR-based DNA microarray assay, in detecting HPV from patient samples and its concordance with the cobas 4800 HPV and Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2) tests.

Materials And Methods: The PANArray HPV, cobas 4800 HPV, and HC2 tests were performed on 504 cervical swab samples from patients with atypical cells of undetermined significance at five hospitals. The samples that were interpreted as 'HPV-other' type positive in the PANArray HPV test were confirmed by direct sequencing.

Results: The concordance rates were 80.8% between the cobas 4800 HPV and PANArray HPV tests [κ=0.59, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.52-0.66] and 80.2% (κ=0.6, 95% CI 0.55-0.68) between the HC2 and PANArray HPV tests. Among the 62 patients negative on PANArray HPV (defined as the absence of high risk HPV), but positive on both cobas 4800 HPV and HC2 tests, 42 (67.7%) tested positive for 'HPV-other' types on the PANArray HPV test, and 31 (50.0%) had gray zone results [relative light unit/control (RLU/CO), 1.4-9.25] in the HC2 test. Of the patients deemed positive by the PANArray HPV test, 43 tested positive for high-risk (HR) HPV in cobas 4800 HPV and HC 2 tests. Among them, 58.2% showed HR HPV, including HPV 16, by direct sequencing, of which 25% had gray results.

Conclusion: Results classified as 'HPV-other' type by the PANArray HPV test, or gray zone results by HC2 (RLU/CO ratio level 1-10) should be carefully interpreted using comprehensive clinical information.

Recently, a high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) detecting assay alone could be used as a first-line screening tool for cervical cancer, although the test system has been limited to the Cobas 4800 HPV test. However, the screening efficiency of the HPV chip, which is widely used in Eastern Asia because of the high prevalence of non16/18 HR-HPV genotypes, has not been well elucidated. After selecting 300 women who were co-tested using the PANArray HPV chip and the ThinPrep assay and had confirmed histological diagnoses, we evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of the PANArray HPV test based on direct sequencing and clinical performance compared to the ThinPrep alone and co-testing.

The detection of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) is important for early diagnosis of precancerous cervical lesion. The distribution of HR-HPV genotypes in East Asia is different from that in Western countries. HR-HPVs non-16/18 including HPV-58 are highly prevalent in East Asia.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection can be detected by using several molecular methods, including Hybrid-Capture II (HC2) assay and variable HPV DNA chip tests, although each method has different sensitivities and specificities.

Methods: We performed HPV 9G DNA Chip (9G) and PANArray HPV Genotyping Chip (PANArray) tests on 118 cervicovaginal swabs and compared the results with HC2, cytology, histology, and direct sequencing results.

Results: The overall and high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) positivity rates were 62.

Background: We evaluated the performance of two different array-based techniques, a bead-based multiplex genotyping method (LQ; digene HPV Genotyping LQ Test, QIAGEN, Germany) and a DNA chip-based method using peptide nucleic acid probes (PANArray; PANArray HPV Genotyping Chip, Panagene, Korea), for detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) and genotyping of high-risk (HR) or probable high-risk (PHR) HPVs in healthy patients who visited a health-promotion center.

Methods: We obtained 508 unselected, consecutive cervicovaginal swab specimens. All specimens were examined by using the PANArray and LQ tests.
