Result: Of the naturally occurring HPV 16 viral variants, the
T350G (
L83V) is the most commonly found among invasive cancers, and has been linked to an increased risk for
cervical disease progression.
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 (
