The L1 sequence of a new human papillomavirus type-58 variant was associated with cervical intraepithelial cancer. "The present study on molecular characterization of a human papillomavirus (HPV) isolated in Central Brazil describes the L1 gene sequence from a new variant of HPV-58, the isolate Bsb-02. The sample was from a smear obtained from a woman with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade II. The whole L1 gene from isolate Bsb-02 was sequenced automatically, showing 99.1% nucleotide identity with the gene from the HPV-58 reference," investigators in Brazil reported. "The clustering between Bsb-02 and HPV-58 reference sequence was also...
