Using bead-based HPV genotyping, 594 gynecological samples were genotyped. An association between squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL) and presence of HPV16, 18, 31, 58 and 56 types were calculated. The risk was estimated by using odds ratio (OR) and 95% of confidence intervals (CI). A total of 370 (62.3%) women were HPV positive. Among these, 157 (42.7%) presented a single HPV infection, and 212 (57.3%) were infected by more than one HPV type. HPV31 was the most prevalent genotype, regardless single and multiple HPV infections. Single infection with HPV31 was associated with LSIL (OR=2.32; 95%CI: 1.01 to 5.32; p=0.04); HPV31 was also associated with LSIL (OR=3.28; 95%CI: 1.74 to 6.19; p= 0.0002) and HSIL (OR=3.82; 95%CI: 2.10 to 6.97; p&lt;0.001) in multiple HPV infections. Risk to harbor cervical lesions was observed in multiple HPV infections with regard to the HPV56 (OR=5.39; 95%CI: 2.44 to 11.90; p&lt;0.001for LSIL; OR=5.37; 95%CI: 2.71 to 10.69; p&lt;0.001) and HPV58 (OR=3.29; 95%CI: 1.34 to 8.09; p=0.0091 for LSIL; OR=3.55; 95%CI: 1.56 to 8.11; p=0.0026) genotypes. In addition, women coinfected with HPV16/31/56 types had 6 and 5-fold increased risk of HSIL (OR=6.46; 95%CI: 1.89 to 22.09; p=0.002) and LSIL (OR=5.22; 95%CI: 1.10 to 24.70; p=0.03), respectively. Multiple HPV infections without HPV16/18 has 2-fold increased risk of HSIL (OR=2.57; 95%CI: 1.41 to 4.70; p=0.002) and LSIL OR=2.03; 95%CI: 1.08 to 3.79; p=0.02). The results of this study suggest that single and multiple vaccine target as well as non-vaccine target HPV types are associated with LSIL and HSIL. These finding should be taken into consideration in the design of HPV vaccination strategies.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26176537?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, Ludovica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zupin, Luisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moura, Ronald Rodrigues</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coelho, Antônio Victor Campos</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chagas, Bárbara Simas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Freitas, Antonio Carlos</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DEFB1 polymorphisms are involved in susceptibility to human papillomavirus infection in Brazilian gynaecological patients.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mem.

In this study, five functional polymorphisms (namely g-52G&gt;A, g-44C&gt;G and g-20G&gt;A in the 5'UTR and c.*5G&gt;A and c.*87A&gt;G in the 3'UTR) in the DEFB1 gene encoding for hBD-1 were analysed to investigate the possible involvement of these genetic variants in susceptibility to HPV infection and in the development of HPV-associated lesions in a population of Brazilian women. The DEFB1 g-52G&gt;A and c.*5G&gt;A single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the GCAAA haplotype showed associations with HPV-negative status; in particular, the c.*5G&gt;A SNP was significantly associated after multiple test corrections. These findings suggest a possible role for the constitutively expressed beta defensin-1 peptide as a natural defence against HPV in the genital tract mucosa.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25410996?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
