6. Regulation of Human Papillomavirus Type 16 Late L1 mRNA Splicing
Abstract : Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) cause almost half of the human cancers that are attributable to viruses. HPV type 16 is the most carcinogenic type among the HPVs and is detected in 50% of all cervical cancers. HPV-16 infects epithelial cells and HPV-16 gene expression is tightly linked to the differentiation stage of the infected cells. READ MORE

7. HPV genotyping and potential progression markers in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia : clinical and diagnostic impact
Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to identify clinically useful early molecular markers to predict progression to carcinoma in women with preinvasive lesions of the cervix, for the purpose of improving care of these women and enabling more individualized treatment. In order to define the human papillomavirus (HPV) types in minor cytological abnormalities, 343 liquid-based cytology (LBC) samples with atypical squamous cells of uncertain significance (ASCUS) and with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) were genotyped using Linear Array.

8. Human papillomavirus in men who have sex with men, transgender women and people living with HIV in Pakistan
Abstract : Background: Anal infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) and associated anal squamous intraepithelial lesions (ASIL), are more prevalent among men who have sex with men (MSM) particularly among MSM and transgender women living with HIV The high prevalence of HIV among MSM and transgender women in Pakistan is a significant health concern and access to screening and health-seeking is often delayed due to stigmatization and discrimination. Anal Papanicolaou (Pap) screening may have utility in the identification of these lesions and is a cost- effective modality for anal cancer prevention among MSM, but no such data are available for Pakistan.
