Abstract
Objective: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a double-stranded DNA virus that belongs to the papillomavirus family. High-risk (HR) genotypes of HPV are associated with cervical cancer. The combination of molecular HPV testing and cytology results in an increased detection of high-grade cervical lesions. This study compares the performance of a newly developed MolecuTech Real HPV 16/18/HR assay to that of the cobas HPV assay and Onclarity HPV Assay in Korea.
Methods: A SurePath liquid-based cytology device (BD diagnostics, NC, USA) was used to prospectively collect cervical swab specimens. Onclarity HPV Assay (Onclarity; BD diagnostics), Cobas 4800 HPV Test (Cobas; Roche, Rotkreuz, Switzerland), and MolecuTech Real HPV 16/18/HR (MolecuTech; YD, Yongin, Korea) were performed to detect HPV genotypes.
Results: Of the 438 cervical specimens, 13.7% showed the HR-HPV genotype. The concordance rates between Onclarity and MolecuTech, cobas and MolecuTech, and Onclarity and Cobas were 94.9% (kappa=0.754), 95.7% (kappa=0.768), and 95.5% (kappa=0.791), respectively. Moreover, no statistically significant differences in HPV genotyping results were observed in the cytology-positive specimens.
Conclusions: The MolecuTech Real HPV 16/18/HR assay showed good agreement in the detection of HR HPV genotypes, and similar analytical performance for the detection of HR HPV genotypes in samples with abnormal cytological findings.
