Mutations in High-Risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Genotypes: Implications for Genetic Variability and Its Relationship with Cervical Cancer
Human papillomavirus (HPV) remains the principal etiological agent of cervical cancer, accounting for more than 95% of cases worldwide. Although the carcinogenic role of high-risk genotypes such as HPV-16 and HPV-18 has been extensively established, growing evidence suggests that genetic variability within individual g...
