LaboratoryHuman papilloma virus 16+18+31+33+35+39+45+51+52+56+58+66 DNA [Presence] in Tissue by Probe
Definition
Common high-risk HPV genotypes associated with cervical neoplasia can be detected by genomic probes. This code is based on, but not limited in use to, the submitter's assay INFORM HPV III Family 16 Probe (B), which contains a cocktail of HPV genomic probes targeting DNA from 12 high-risk genotypes (16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, and 66).
