  • Approach to molecular diagnosis of human papillomavirus-related diseases
    Patent number: 8227190
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an accurate, sensitive, and efficient sequential or concurrently sequential method for molecular diagnosis of human papillomavirus (HPV)-based disease, where the method improves the accuracy and reliability of diagnostic and prognostic assessments of HPV-based disease. The method of the invention comprises a primary screen of a sample for HPV nucleic acids, followed by a secondary screen for molecular markers, such as proliferation and cell cycle control group protein markers. The sequential or concurrently sequential method significantly reduces the number of false positive results.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 24, 2007
    Date of Patent: July 24, 2012
    Assignee: Qiagen Gaithersburg, Inc.
    Inventors: Inna R. Williams, Attila T. Lorincz, Aisling O'Hara
