Whole-genome analysis of human papillomavirus 67 isolated from Japanese women with cervical lesions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Human papillomavirus (HPV) type 67 is phylogenetically classified into Alphapapillomavirus species 9 (alpha-9) together with other carcinogenic types (HPV16, 31, 33, 35, 52 and 58), but is the only alpha-9 type defined as possibly carcinogenic. This study aimed to determine whole-genome sequences of HPV67 isolated from Japanese women with cervical cancer or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) to better understand the genetic basis of the oncogenic potential of HPV67.

Methods

Total cellular DNA isolated from cervical exfoliated cells that were single positive for HPV67 (invasive cervical cancer, n = 2; CIN3, n = 6; CIN 2, n = 1; CIN1, n = 2; the normal cervix, n = 1) was subjected to PCR to amplify HPV67 DNA, followed by next generation sequencing to determine
