Prevalence, Genotype Distribution and Persistence of Human Papillomavirus in Oral Mucosa of Women: A Six-Year Follow-Up Study

Abstract: BackgroundHuman papillomavirus (HPV) infections have been linked to a subset of oral and oropharyngeal cancers. However, little is known on the natural history of oral HPV infections. We designed the prospective Finnish HPV Family Study to assess the dynamics of HPV infections in parents and their infants. This study reports HPV genotype distribution and virus persistence in oral mucosa of the mothers.Materials and MethodsTotally, 324 pregnant women were enrolled at the 3rd trimester of pregnancy and followed-… Show more

“…The HPV Infection in Men (HIM) Study investigated men only from three countries (USA, Brazil and Mexico) [12,14]. The Finnish Family HPV Study analysed oral specimens from pregnant women, fathers-to-be and mothers [11,13,15,16]. Beachler et al included a US highrisk population (defined as 'HIV-uninfected people at risk of HIV infection') in their recent study [10].…”

“…The mucosal HPV types are categorized as low-risk and high-risk types based on their oncogenic potential (1,2). The most common high-risk types are the HPV-16 and HPV-18, respectively, associated with pre-cancers and cancers in various anogenital sites (e.g., cervix, vulva, vagina, and anus) (3)(4)(5)(6). The studies showed that HPV-specific T-cell responses induced by vaccines play an effective role in tumor regression (7)(8)(9)(10).…”
