The human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 genome has been studied extensively, although no study has focused on the E1 gene that is implicated in viral DNA replication. After analyzing the E1 region of HPV 16 genomes in 429 cervical samples, 11.2% were found to contain a 63 nucleotides duplication in this region. Sequence analysis of the E6 and the E7 regions has shown that all samples containing this duplication were related to E6-G350 variant of the HPV 16 (Chi square test, P ¼ 0.0012). A comparison of cervical lesion severity of the examinees having regular or variant E1 genes has shown that the variant group had a significantly (Fischer's exact test, P ¼ 0.0401) lower percentage of high grade disease cases, suggesting that this particular duplication might reduce the oncogenic potential of HPV 16, and also might clarify the differences of E6-G350 variant oncogenicity observed in European populations. Albeit, a decreased incidence of high grade cervical lesions can be linked to the prevalence of multiple HPV infection, the additional decrease of those cases with the variant E1 gene versus those without (10.5% and 18.6%, respectively) can only be ascribed to the effect of this particular HPV variant. Further research is needed to clarify the biology of these HPV 16 E1 variants.

Background: Assessment of human papillomavirus (HPV) type-specific viral load (VL) is a valid tool for determining the etiology of HPV-related skin tumors, especially when more than one HPV type is detected within one lesion. Methods: The causative HPV type was determined in 185 fresh-frozen tissue specimens of histologically confirmed common warts (CWs) collected from 121 immunocompetent patients. All tissues were tested using the type-specific quantitative real-time polymerase chain reactions (PCR) for the most common wart-associated Alpha-PV (HPV2/27/57) and Mu-PV types (HPV1/63/204). The presence of 23 additional low-risk HPVs was evaluated using a conventional wide-spectrum PCR. Results: HPV DNA was detected in 176/185 (95.1%) CWs and multiple HPV types in 71/185 (38.4%) lesions. Using the VL approach and a robust cutoff of one viral copy/cell established in this study, HPV2/27/57 were determined as causative agents in 41/53 (77.3%) and 53/71 (74.7%) CWs with single and multiple HPVs, respectively. Conclusions: CWs are mostly etiologically associated with HPV2/27/57 and only rarely with HPV1. In the majority of CWs containing multiple HPVs, a single HPV type was present in high concentration, indicating etiological association. No significant differences in VLs of lesion-causing HPV types in CWs containing single or multiple HPVs were found.
Characterization of a new type of human papillomavirus that causes skin warts. J Virol
Journal of Virology
A human papillomavirus (HPV) was isolated from the lesions of a patient (ML) bearing numerous hand common warts. This virus was compared with the well-characterized HPV found in typical plantar warts (plantar HPV). ML and plantar HPV DNAs have similar molecular weights (5.26 x 10(6) and 5.23 x 10(6), respectively) but were shown to be different by restriction enzyme analysis. When the cleavage products of both DNAs by endonuclease EcoRI, BamI, HpaI, or Hind were analyzed by electron microscopy, one, two, one, and four fragments were detected for ML HPV DNA instead of the two, one, two, and six fragments, respectively, detected for plantar HPV DNA. In contrast to plantar HPV DNA, a high proportion of ML HPV DNA molecules were resistant to these restriction enzymes. Most, if not all, of the molecules were either resistant to BamI and sensitive to EcoRI or sensitive to BamI and resistant to EcoRI. After denaturation and renaturation of the cleavage products of ML HPV DNA by a mixture o...
The Genotype of Human Papilloma Virus of Male Patient with Anogenital Warts
Folia Medica Indonesiana
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections. HPV high risk (HPVHR) were HPV16,18 related with invasive penile carcinomas, and HPV low risk (HPVLR) were HPV6,11 related to anogenital warts. Male infection is usually asymptomatic that it would be explain increasing the incidence of HPV associated cancers. Identification HPV genotype is very important for predicting the development of the diseases, to be benign or malignant cancer. The objective of this study was to identify the genotype of HPV that infect men with anogential warts. This research used 12 biopsy specimens from men patient with anogenital warts at Outpatient clinic of Department Dermatology and Venereology, Dr. Soetomo General Hospital period 2016-2017. The specimens were diagnozed by pathologist and HPV gentoyping was done to detect 40 HPV genotype including HPVHR and HPVLR. The result showed that 58% (7/12) were positive for HPVLR and 42% (5/12) were positive for HPV L...

Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection worldwide, affecting about 80% of women up to the age of 50. The persistent infection of high risk-HPV types (HR-HPV) is the leading cause of cervical cancer, the fourth most common cancer of women. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the frequency and typing of HPV in the genital lesions in the Iranian population. Methods This descriptive-analytic study was conducted on a population in the South-Khorasan province of Iran. All of the participants were sexually active and were checked for evident cervical warts. Biopsy samples were collected from various lesions, and all samples were tested for detection and genotyping of HPV using a reverse dot blot hybridization method (HPV direct flow CHIP). Results In overall, 370 samples were evaluated; 10 cases (2.7%) were male and the rest were female. The mean age of patients was 33.3 ± 8.5 years, of which 48.1% were in the age range from 25 to 36 years. Among...
Detection of human papillomavirus using in situ hybridization technique in vulvo-vaginal warts
The Malaysian journal of medical sciences : MJMS, 2000
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the commonest sexually transmitted viral infection and one of its manifestations is genital warts or condyloma acuminata. Eight cases of vulvo-vaginal warts were diagnosed between January 1992 and December 1993. There were 4 Malays, 2 Chinese and 2 Indians. The patients' age ranged from 22 to 43 years (mean 27.9 years). Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues were studied by histology and in situ hybridization using biotinylated probes to detect the HPV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31 and 33. All vulvar and vaginal lesions showed typical histopathological features of condylomatous changes. HPV 6 and HPV 11 were detected in 100% (8/8) and 87.5% (7/8) of all cases, respectively. HPVs 16, 18, 31 and 33 were not found. The positive cells were mainly in the upper layers of the squamous epithelium. The hybridization data indicated that the HPV found in this study one of the same types as found in other studies.
Papillomaviruses in human skin warts and their incidence in an argentine population
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 1988
Human papillomavirus genomic types present in human warts of an Argentine population were studied. HPV DNA from single warts was obtained using an alkaline extraction procedure that resulted in a clean DNA preparation, which could be analyzed with several endonucleases. This method was used to isolate and insert the HPV DNAs of two genomic types into the Bam HI site of the pBR322 plasmid. Restriction maps of both HPV DNAs were constructed. According ta these maps, one of the genomic variations was identical to HPVla and the other to HPV2a. The incidence of HPV2 and of HPV1 in different types of skin warts was studied by a dot blot hybridization assay. Twenty-two out of 28 common warts were positive for HPV2 and negative for HPV1; four were positive for HPV1 and negative for HPV2 and two were negative for both. Five out of six plantar warts were positive for HPV1, and one was negative for both. Three out of seven filiform warts were positive for HPV2, three were positive for both probes, and one was negative for both. Southern blot analysis of HPV2 positive samples indicated that 80% were HPV2a and 20% another subtype not yet characterized. All plantar warts contained HPVla. Msp I/Hpa II restriction analysis confirms previous results indicating that HPVla DNA is partially methylated, while no evidence of methylation was found for HPV2a DNA.
