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,
T350G,
A442C lead to amino acid changes (
I52V,
H78Y,
L83V,
E113D, respectively), while
C256T,
T286A,
A289G are silent not leading to amino acid changes.
