PACKET genotyping of 37 low-, high- and intermediate-risk HPV types
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a DNA virus that attacks the epithelial cells of the skin and mucous membranes of the human body. About 200 different types of HPV are known, each characterised by specificity in its effect on tissues. Although most of these types do not cause symptoms in most people, some types can cause warts and others lead to cervical, vulvar and vaginal cancer in women.
Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are the causative agents of one of the most common sexually transmitted viral infections in the world. Approximately 43 types of sexually transmitted HPV are known, of which 18 have proven oncogenic potential. Other varieties of the virus are transmitted by physical contact/touch and can lead to the formation of warts, lichen planus, and dangerous malignant skin growths. HPV are a major contributor to the development of cervical cancer.
