Focal epithelial hyperplasia: human-papillomavirus-induced disease with a genetic predisposition in a Venezuelan family

A study on the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA sequences and focal epithelial hyperplasia (FEH) in a family of Venezuelan ancestry has revealed that FEH is an HPV-induced disease presenting familial aggregation. The genealogical evidence indicates a genetic predisposition to the disease.
