C C14338 Human Papillomavirus Type 16 Human Papillomavirus-16 HPV-16 A virus comprised of a protein coat (capsid) surrounding a circular, double-stranded DNA organized into coding and non-coding regions, which can induce skin and mucosal epithelial lesions. Human papillomavirus-16 (HPV16) has been directly linked to cervical cancer and is significantly associated with invasiveness. Progression from low- to high-grade neoplasia is often associated with the integration of the HPV16 genome into the host chromosome.

Human papillomavirus-18 (HPV18) has been directly linked to cervical cancer and plays a role in the pathogenesis of the disease. The virus integrates its DNA at specific chromosomal locations, such as 8q24 and 12q15. The use of molecular markers for HPV18 infection may allow the identification of patients with early stage cervical cancer and those at high risk for disease recurrence.
