摘要: Purpose Our recent report indicated that tumor suppressor gene (p53) mutations and protein aberrant expression were detected in pterygium. Inactivation of p53 by Human papillomavirus (HPV) 16/18 E6 plays a crucial role cervical tumorigenesis. In this study, we further speculate inactivation may be linked with HPV infection pterygium pathogenesis. To investigate the involvement pterygium, association between 16 or 18 infection, oncoprotein, was analyzed study.
