Human papillomavirus PCR direct sequencing study of cervical precancerous lesions in Quebec children

In the group of cervical biopsies from adolescent girls with CIN (n = 36, age 14-17), as well as in the larger control group of adult women (n = 487, age 18-72), the percentage of high risk HPV types increased, and the low risk HPV types decreased with the progression from low grade (CIN-I) to high...

Summary:In the group of cervical biopsies from adolescent girls with CIN (n = 36, age 14-17), as well as in the larger control group of adult women (n = 487, age 18-72), the percentage of high risk HPV types increased, and the low risk HPV types decreased with the progression from low grade (CIN-I) to high grade (CIN-II and III) precancerous lesions.
