Abstract: CONCLUSION: We conclude that in the women included in this study the HPV16 E subtype is 19 times more frequent than the AA subtype; that the circulating E variants are E-P (71.1%) > E-
T350G (18.4%) > E-
C188G (5.3%); that 71.0% of the E-P sequences carry the
A334G single nucleotide change and appear to correspond to a HPV16 variant characteristic of San Luis Potosi City more oncogenic than the E-P Ref prototype.
Abstract: E-P
A334G sequences were the most prevalent (22 cases, 57.9%), followed by the E-P Ref prototype (8 cases, 21.1%) and E-P
A404T (1 case, 2.6%) sequences.
Abstract: E-P variant sequences contained 23 single nucleotide changes, two of which (
A334G,
A404T) had not been described before and allowed the phylogenetic s
