    Abstract:
    HPV16, with typical mutations that differ in geographical distribution and carcinogenic potency, has implications for cervical cancer screening, clinical diagnosis, and treatment. DNASTAR and MEGA were used to identify HPV16 variants and construct a phylogenetic tree. The most prevalent HPV genotypes were HPV16 (63.9%), HPV18 (26.7%), and other HPV (6.9%). HPV16 alterations were found in all E6, E7, and L1 genes, including 15 missense and 18 synonymous mutations. Missense mutations include R10G, Q14H, D25E, H78Y, L83V (E6); M29V, R35K, L78R, L95P (E7); H73Y, T176 N, N178T, T317P, T386S, L472F/I (L1). HPV16 sublineages include A1 (17.2%), A2 (0.9%), A3 (56.0%), A4 (19.0%), D1 (4.3%), and D3 (2.6%). Although several mutations in the oncoproteins E6, E7, and L1 have been detected, mutations known to be associated with cervical cancer risk, such as D25E and L83V, occur at a relatively low frequency. This suggests that HPV16 mutations are associated with cervical cancer through a complicated mechanism.
