Classical HLA alleles are associated with prevalent and persistent cervical high-risk HPV infection in African women.

CONCLUSIONS: In this first study to investigate the association between HLA alleles and persistent hrHPV in African women, we identified important risk alleles that merit further investigation. Our findings provide new insights into risk factors for hrHPV infection in African ancestry women. PMID: 31072753 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
