Understanding of risk factors for the human papillomavirus (HPV) infection based on gender and race.

ABSTRACT: This study assessed if race and gender predict known sexual risk factors associated with HPV. Data (n?=?301) were from a cross-sectional study conducted at a drag racing event on September 12-13, 2015 in Madison, Illinois. Both multivariable logistic and linear regression models estimated the association between race, gender, and sexual risk factors. About 63% of participants were males, and 65% identified as Blacks. Compared to females, males were more likely to have a higher number of oral sexual partners (OR?=?2.10; 95% CI: 1.23, 3.57). Males were also more likely to have earlier oral sexual (b?=?-2.10; 95% CI: -3.60, -0.60) and vaginal sexual (b?=?-1.10; 95% CI: -1.69, -0.31) debuts compared to females. Blacks were more likely to have higher number of vaginal sexual partners (OR?=?3.38; 95% CI: 1.81, 6.31) and earlier vaginal sex (b?=?-1.09; 95% CI: -1.78, -0.41) but less likely to have earlier oral sexual debuts compared with Whites (b?=?2.67; 95% CI: 1.21, -4.13). Because HPV is associated with several cancers, our findings provide impetus for the development of targeted educational interventions aimed at improving the knowledge of these sexual risk factors, especially among men and across race groups.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Genetic factors may influence the susceptibility to high-risk (hr) human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and persistence. We conducted the first genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify variants associated with cervical hrHPV infection and persistence. METHODS:Participants were 517 Nigerian women evaluated at baseline and 6?months follow-up visits for HPV. HPV was characterized using SPF10/LiPA25. hrHPV infection was positive if at least one carcinogenic HPV genotype was detected in a sample provided at the baseline visit and persistent if at least one carcinogenic HPV genotype was detected in each of the samples provided at the baseline and follow-up visits. Genotyping was done using the Illumina Multi-Ethnic Genotyping Array (MEGA) and imputation was done using the African Genome Resources Haplotype Reference Panel. Association analysis was done for hrHPV infection (125 cases/392 controls) and for persistent hrHPV infection (51 cases/355 controls) under additive genetic models adjusted for age, HIV status and the first principal component (PC) of the genotypes. RESULTS:The mean (±SD) age of the study participants was 38 (±8) years, 48% were HIV negative, 24% were hrHPV positive and 10% had persistent hrHPV infections. No single variant reached genome-wide significance (p?<?5 X 10-?8). The top three variants associated with hrHPV infections were intronic variants clustered in KLF12 (all OR: 7.06, p?=?1.43?×?10-?6). The top variants associated with cervical hrHPV persistence were in DAP (OR: 6.86, p?=?7.15?×?10-?8), NR5A2 (OR: 3.65, p?=?2.03?×?10-?7) and MIR365-2 (OR: 7.71, p?=?2.63?×?10-?7) gene regions. CONCLUSIONS:This exploratory GWAS yielded suggestive candidate risk loci for cervical hrHPV infection and persistence. The identified loci have biological annotation and functional data supporting their role in hrHPV infection and persistence. Given our limited sample size, larger discovery and replication studies are warranted to further characterize the reported associations.

Project description:BackgroundThe causal role of high-risk Human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) in the pathogenesis of anogenital cancers is well established. In contrast, information on HR-HPV distribution of continuous anatomic sites within the female genital tract is limited, and the impact of sample type on the clinical performance in HPV-based cervical cancer screening warrants investigation.MethodsA total of 2,646 Chinese women were enrolled in the study from May 2006 to April 2007. We analyzed the infection features by infection status and pathological diagnoses of 489 women with complete HR-HPV type and viral load data on the cervix, upper vagina, lower vagina, and perineum samples. Additionally, we assessed the clinical performance for detecting high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia of grade two or worse (≥ CIN2) among these four types of samples.ResultsHR-HPV positivity rate was lower in the cervix (51.53%) and perineum (55.83%), higher in the upper (65.64%) and lower vagina (64.42%), and increased with the severity of cervical histological lesions (all P<0.001). Single infection was more dominant than multiple infections at each anatomic site of the female genital tract. The proportion of single HR-HPV infection decreased successively from the cervix (67.05%) to the perineum (50.00%) (Ptrend=0.019) in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 (CIN1) and was higher in samples of the cervix (85.11%) and perineum (72.34%) in ≥ CIN2. In addition, the highest viral load was observed in the cervix compared to the other three sites. The overall agreement of the cervical and perineum samples was 79.35% and increased continuously from normal (76.55%) to ≥ CIN2 (91.49%). As for the detection of ≥ CIN2, the sensitivity was 100.00%, 97.87%, 95.74%, and 91.49% for the cervix, upper vagina, lower vagina, and perineum samples, respectively.ConclusionsSingle HR-HPV infection predominated throughout the female genital tract, but the viral load was lower compared to multiple HR-HPV infections. Despite the decreasing viral load from cervix to perineum, the clinical performance for detecting ≥ CIN2 of the perineum sample was comparable to that of the cervix.
