Prevaccination genomic diversity of human papillomavirus genotype 6 (HPV 6)

Abstract Prevaccination genomic diversity of human papillomavirus genotype 6 (HPV 6) was established by sequencing 3798 bp of 77 clinically important HPV 6 isolates obtained from 45 and 32 patients with genital warts and laryngeal papillomas, respectively. By analyzing pooled L1, LCR, E6, E2, and E5...

Description
Summary:Abstract Prevaccination genomic diversity of human papillomavirus genotype 6 (HPV 6) was established by sequencing 3798 bp of 77 clinically important HPV 6 isolates obtained from 45 and 32 patients with genital warts and laryngeal papillomas, respectively. By analyzing pooled L1, LCR, E6, E2, and E5 nucleotide data of an individual isolate, a total of 36 different genomic variants were identified, of which six (12 isolates), one (one isolate) and 29 (64 isolates) corresponded to HPV 6b, HPV 6a, and HPV 6vc genetic lineages, respectively. Several novel, potentially important mutations were identified. Non-prototypic HPV 6vc genomic variants were found in the majority of genital warts and laryngeal papillomas included in the study. The presence of serious HPV 6 genome sequence errors was confirmed and novel sequence errors were identified in sequence repositories.
