Abstract:
Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a major cause of cervical cancer worldwide.
Knowledge of the geographical distribution and epidemiology of the most common HPV genotypes is a
crucial step in developing prevention strategies. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate HPV genotype
distribution among HPV-positive women and men in Tehran, Iran.
Study Design: A case series study.
Methods: The study was performed on ۲۱۹ HPV-positive individuals (۱۶۰ females and ۵۹ males) from
Tehran, Iran. Samples were obtained from the cervix and vagina of female subjects and the genital warts of
male subjects. DNA was extracted from samples, and a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-reverse dot blot
genotyping chip was used to examine HPV genotypes. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples
of ۵۱ patients from the study population were also included in this study.
Results: The proportion of high-risk (HR)-HPV was ۶۷.۱۲%. The most common HR-HPV types were
HR-HPV۱۶ (۱۷.۴%), HR-HPV۶۸ (۱۱.۴%), and HR-HPV۵۱ (۷.۸%). The most common low-risk (LR)-HPV
types included LR-HPV۶ (۳۱.۱%), LR-HPV۸۱ (۱۱.۹%), and LR-HPV۶۲ (۱۱.۴%). The highest prevalence of
HPV was in the age group of > ۳۰ years (۴۲.۹%). Co-infection with multiple HR-HPV types was observed
in ۲۲.۴% of specimens. Moreover, HR-HPV was found in ۵۰% of women with normal cytology,
۱۰۰% with a low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, and ۸۴.۶۱% with atypical squamous cells of
undetermined significance.
Conclusion: The results indicated the remarkable growth of HR-HPV۶۸, which has rarely been reported
in Iran. The findings add knowledge to HPV epidemiological investigation and emphasize the need for
introducing educational programs in high schools and appropriate vaccination in Iran.
