## Abstract Human herpes virus type 6 (HHVβ6) DNA has been suggested to be a cofactor to human papillomavirus (HPV) in cervical cancer. In a crossβsectional study, we investigated the association between HHVβ6 DNA detected in cervical brushings and highβgrade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL)
We previously reported that invasive squamous cell carcinomas of the uterine cervix are of monoclonal composition. In the current study, we extended our previous work to determine the clonal composition of cases of high-grade squamous intra-epithelial lesion (HSIL). Clonal analysis targeting the HUM
