Mutations in the long control region of human papillomavirus DNA in oral cancer cells, and their functional consequences

Oral cancers frequently contain DNA of human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 or 18, but the functional significance of this is unclear. A role for HPV in the progression of oral cancer would be more plausible if the viral transforming genes were likely to be overexpressed in oral cancer cells. We there...
