OBJECTIVE To identify genetic variants in the E6 gene of HPV 16 and to examine the association between these variants and cervical cancer development. METHODS Cervical samples were collected from 72 patients with cervical cancer and 72 age-matched control subjects, all from Hubei Province, China. HPV 16 sequence was detected with E6 gene-specific polymerase chain reaction, and variants were identified by DNA sequencing. RESULTS HPV 16 was detected in 81% of the patients and 43% of control subjects, respectively. The rank orders of incidence of HPV 16 prototype and E6 variants were as follows: D25E (62%), the prototype (17%), E113D (9%), L83V (6%) in case subjects; the prototype (71%), D25E (23%), L83V/E113D (7%) in control subjects. The odds ratio of HPV 16 E6 variant was higher than that of prototype (RR=11.73, 95% CI=4.18-32.94, P=0.0001). CONCLUSIONS The D25 E variant is the most prevalent E6 genomic variant in Hubei, China. The presence of HPV 16 E6 variant in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) lesions may serve as a useful predictor of clinical outcome of the disease.

D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D009856	Oncogene Proteins, Viral	Products of viral oncogenes, most commonly retroviral oncogenes. They usually have transforming and often protein kinase activities.	Viral Oncogene Proteins,Viral Transforming Proteins,v-onc Proteins,Transforming Proteins, Viral,v onc Proteins
D012097	Repressor Proteins	Proteins which maintain the transcriptional quiescence of specific GENES or OPERONS. Classical repressor proteins are DNA-binding proteins that are normally bound to the OPERATOR REGION of an operon, or the ENHANCER SEQUENCES of a gene until a signal occurs that causes their release.
