The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology was used to identify human papillomaviruses (HPV) in 52 paraffin embedded cervical tissues from Indian women with chronic cervicitis, different grades of cervical dysplasia and invasive cervical carcinoma. The tissues were screened for amplification of the cellular beta-globin gene as well as of HPVs. Sets of primers designed to amplify a portion of the E6 gene of HPV 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33 and 35 were employed. HPV 6, 16 and 31 were identified in 58% of 33 beta-globin positive tissues as compared to 16% of 19 beta-globin negative tissues. HPV 11, 18, 33 and 35 were not identified in any of the specimens. Double infection of HPV 16 and 31 was observed in one case of carcinoma in situ and one case of invasive carcinoma. HPV-16 was the predominant virus in HPV positive cases of higher grades of cervical dysplasia (severe dysplasia and carcinoma in situ) and cervical cancer.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.

D027383 Papillomaviridae A family of small, non-enveloped DNA viruses infecting birds and most mammals, especially humans. They are grouped into multiple genera, but the viruses are highly host-species specific and tissue-restricted. They are commonly divided into hundreds of papillomavirus "types", each with specific gene function and gene control regions, despite sequence homology. Human papillomaviruses are found in the genera ALPHAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; BETAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; GAMMAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; and MUPAPILLOMAVIRUS.
