ABSTRACT:
The aim of the experiment was to evaluate a HPV genotyping microarray method using patient sample DNA. HPV genotyping is based on multiplex PCR (PGMY-t primers) followed by ligation step where two probes are ligated together if a matching template is present in the mixture. The ligated probes are then detected on microarray.

Sensitive and specific detection of human papillomaviruses (HPV) in cervical samples is a useful tool for the early diagnosis of epithelial neoplasia and anogenital lesions. Recent studies support the feasibility of HPV DNA testing instead of cytology (Pap smear) as a primary test in population screening for cervical cancer. This is likely to be an option in the near future in many countries, and it would increase the efficiency of screening for cervical abnormalities. We present here a microarr ...[more]
