69002-4
LaboratoryHuman papilloma virus E6+E7 mRNA [Presence] in Cervix by NAA with probe detection
Definition
This term was created for (but not limited to) Gen-Probe's Aptima HPV assay (Cat No. 302610) that detects the E6 and E7 polycistronic mRNA from 14 high-risk HPV genotypes (16,18,31,33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59,66,and 68) that can lead to cervical cancer. E6/E7 genes in high-risk HPV genotypes are known as oncogenes because of their continuous expression, which leads to disruption of cell-cycle check points and cell genome instability through alteration of cellular p53 and retinoblastoma protein functions. This test is similar to LOINC 69358-0, which measures cells containing E6+E7 mRNA via flow cytometry.
