Result: Sequence analysis of the
E6 gene in 25 HPV 16 positive
ICC cases showed the presence of the
T350G mutation in the great majority (18/25, 72%), in 4 cases also accompanied by other mutations; among the mutations identified,
A257G,
C335T,
Result: The
E6 pattern corresponded to the prototype in 7 cases, while the
T350G mutation was present in 18; as single mutation in 14, with another mutation in 3 (
T256C,
A257G,
A442C, respectively), and with three additional mutations in 1 (
T286A,
A289G,
C335T).
