Comparison of the Digene HPV Genotyping LQ Test and the PANArray HPV Genotyping Chip for Detection of High-Risk or Probable High-Risk Human Papillomavirus Genotypes

摘要

BackgroundWe evaluated the performance of two different array-based techniques, a bead-based multiplex genotyping method (LQ; digene HPV Genotyping LQ Test, QIAGEN, Germany) and a DNA chip-based method using peptide nucleic acid probes (PANArray; PANArray HPV Genotyping Chip, Panagene, Korea), for detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) and genotyping of high-risk (HR) or probable high-risk (PHR) HPVs in healthy patients who visited a health-promotion center.
