Background: Human papillomavirus is the most common sexually transmitted infection. It is associated with different cancers, mainly cervical cancer, which remains the fourth most frequent cancer among women worldwide; it is also related to anogenital (anus, vulvar, vagina, and penis) and oropharyngeal cancers. Vaccination against HPV infection is the major way of prevention, and it has demonstrated impressive efficacy in reducing cervical cancer incidence. Nowadays, all the licensed HPV recombinant vaccines were designed based on HPV major capsid L1 protein. However, some variations in the HPV L1 gene sequence may induce structural changes within the L1 protein, which may alter the affinity and interaction of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) with L1 protein epitopes, and influence host immune response and recognition. Hence, the importance of accuracy in delineating epitopes relevant to vaccine design and defining genetic variations within antigenic regions in the L1 gene to predict its impact on prophylactic vaccine efficiency. The present review reports the sequence variations in HR-HPV L1 gene isolates from different countries around the world, which may help to understand the effect of HPV L1 gene variations on vaccine efficiency.

Methods: Research studies were retrieved from PubMed, Google Scholar, Science direct, and the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database. A total of 31 articles describing genetic variations within the major capsid L1 gene and conducted in Africa, Europe, America and Asia were found. Only 26 studies conducted on HPV16, 18, 31, 33, 58, 45 and 52 which are the targets of HPV prophylactic vaccines, and which reported genetic variations within the L1 gene, were selected and evaluated in this review.

Findings: We found a total of 87, 49, 11, 7, 22, 3, and 17 non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within HPV16, HPV18, HPV31, HPV58, HPV45, and HPV52 L1 gene, respectively. Four mutations were frequently observed in HPV16 L1 sequences: T353P in the HI loop, H228D in the EF loop, T266A in the FG loop, and T292A in the FG loop. Two mutations in HPV58 L1 sequences: T375N in the HI loop and L150F in the DE loop. Three mutations in HPV33 L1 sequences: T56N in the BC loop, G133S in the DE loop, T266K in the FG loop. Other mutations were found in HPV18, HPV45, and HPV52 L1 sequences. Some were found in different countries, and others were specific to a given population. Furthermore, some variations were located on peptide binding epitopes and lead to a modification of epitopes, which may influence MAbs interactions. Others need further investigations due to the lack of studies.

Conclusion: This study investigated the major capsid L1 genetic diversity of HPV16, 18, 31, 33, 58, 45, and 52 circulating in different populations around the world. Further investigations should be conducted to confirm their effect on immunogenicity and prophylactic vaccine efficiency.

Little is known about the mechanisms underlying the relationship between genetic variation and the adaptation of Oratosquilla oratoria populations to different habitat temperature. Here, the genome-wide genetic information of three O. oratoria populations were obtained by IIB restriction site-associated DNA (2b-RAD) sequencing and 2403 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified.

So-called oncocytic papillary renal cell carcinoma (OPRCC) is a poorly defined variant of papillary renal cell carcinoma. Since its first description, several studies were published with conflicting results, and thus precise definition is lacking. A cohort of 39 PRCCs composed of oncocytic cells were analyzed.

Background: Understanding sex determination (SD) across taxa is a major challenge for evolutionary biology. The new genomic tools are paving the way to identify genomic features underlying SD in fish, a group frequently showing limited sex chromosome differentiation and high SD evolutionary turnover. Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) is a commercially important flatfish with an undifferentiated ZW/ZZ SD system and remarkable sexual dimorphism. Read More

By following up the gut microbiome, 51 human phenotypes and plasma levels of 1,183 metabolites in 338 individuals after 4 years, we characterize microbial stability and variation in relation to host physiology. Using these individual-specific and temporally stable microbial profiles, including bacterial SNPs and structural variations, we develop a microbial fingerprinting method that shows up to 85% accuracy in classifying metagenomic samples taken 4 years apart. Application of our fingerprinting method to the independent HMP cohort results in 95% accuracy for samples taken 1 year apart. Read More

Introduction: Genetic variations of enzymes that affect the pharmacokinetics and hence effects of medications differ between ethnicities, resulting in variation in the risk of adverse drug reactions (ADR) between different populations. Previous work has demonstrated that risk-group considerations can be incorporated into approaches of statistical signal detection. It is unknown whether databases of individual case safety reports (ICSRs) are sensitive to pharmacogenomic differences between populations. Read More
