The current study aimed to investigate the sequence variations of HPV 51 and 59 in normal cervical cells and premalignant/malignant lesions of the cervix to know the common variants of HPV 51 and HPV 59 circulating in Iran. To do this, eighty-five samples that were infected by HPV 51 or HPV 59 were investigated using hemi-PCR to amplify the E6 gene followed by sequencing. Our findings indicated that lineages A and B were detected in 80.4% and 19.6% of HPV 51-positive cases, respectively. Among samples infected with HPV 59, 32.2% belonged to lineage A and 67.8% were classified with lineage B. In conclusion, our results showed that lineage A of HPV 51 and lineage B of HPV 59 are more prevalent and distributed in Iran.
本研究旨在调查 HPV 51 和 59 在正常宫颈细胞和宫颈前病变/恶性病变中的序列变异,以了解在伊朗流行的 HPV 51 和 HPV 59 的常见变异体。为此,我们使用半巢式 PCR 扩增 E6 基因,然后进行测序,对 85 例感染 HPV 51 或 HPV 59 的样本进行了检测。我们的研究结果表明,HPV 51 阳性病例中分别检测到 A 谱系和 B 谱系占 80.4%和 19.6%。在感染 HPV 59 的样本中,32.2%属于 A 谱系,67.8%属于 B 谱系。总之,我们的研究结果表明,HPV 51 的 A 谱系和 HPV 59 的 B 谱系在伊朗更为流行和分布。
