HPV genotyping and p16 expression in Xingu Indigenous Park, Brazil
“HPV genotyping and p16 expression in Xingu Indigenous Park, Brazil”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.
, The association between high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes and p16 expression in indigenous women from the Xingu Indigenous Park, Brazil, was unknown. This study evaluated p16 expression in women with a histological diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 3 or higher and correlated this expression with HPV genotypes to determine possible discrepancies in the expression of this marker. We evaluated 37 previously collected samples with different HPV genotypes and high-grade lesions diagnosed based on cytology, histology, and colposcopy.
