Chromosomal copy number alterations and HPV integration in cervical precancer and invasive cancer

Carcinogenesis. 2016 Feb;37(2):188-196. doi: 10.1093/carcin/bgv171. Epub 2015 Dec 9.

Abstract

The relationship between chromosomal instability and integration of the human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA into the host genome is not well understood. We found that chromosomal instability increases with HPV integration and diagnosis. However, chromosomal instability could occur without HPV integration.
