Component Description

Estimate the prevalence and determinants of oral HPV infection in the United States population. Oral HPV infection is newly appreciated as a strong risk factor for a distinct type of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma that is rising in incidence in the United States. It has been estimated that oral HPV16 infection confers an approximate 15-fold increase in risk for oropharyngeal cancer. Despite these strong risks, little is known about the epidemiology of oral HPV infection. No population-based surveys of oral HPV infection, type distribution and determinants have been performed in any population worldwide.

Eligible Sample

Examined participants, aged 14-69 years, were tested. The public data file includes data for persons 18-69 years of age. Please see Analytic Notes about the release of data for adolescents 14-17 years of age.

Description of Laboratory Methodology

Oral rinse specimens were processed, stored and shipped to the Ohio State University Gillison Laboratory, Columbus, Ohio. Detailed specimen collection and processing instructions are discussed in the NHANES Laboratory/Medical Technologists Procedures Manual (LPM).

Samples will be centrifuged at 4,000 x g for 10 minutes at 4°C, the pellet will be resuspended in 1 ml of Puregene cell lysis solution and incubated at 37°C for 15 min followed by DNase-free RNase A (5µg/ml) digestion for 30 min at 37°C. Proteinase K (20 mg/ml) digestion will be performed overnight at 55°C followed by heat inactivation for 10 min at 95°C. Protein precipitation solution (340 µL) will be added and sample will be further purified according to the Puregene DNA purification kit protocol.

Purified DNA will be analyzed for 37 types of HPV by means of a multiplex polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR) assay targeted to the conserved L1 region of the viral genome, using PGYM09/11 primer pools and primers for ß-globin (33). PCR products will be denatured in 0.13 N NaOH and hybridized to an immobilized HPV probe array (Roche Diagnostics) using an extended line-blot assay for genotyping of 37 HPV types, including HPV-6, -11, -16, -18, -26, -31, -33, -35, -39, -40, -42, -45, -51, -52, -53, -54, -55, -56, -57, -58, -59, -61, -62, -64, -66, -67, -68, -69, -70, -71, -72, -73, -81, -82 (MM4 and IS39 subtypes), -83, -84 and -89, and ß-globin (Roche Molecular Systems, Inc., Alameda, CA). Positive controls, consisting of 10 and 100 HPV-16 (SiHa) or HPV-18 (C4–2)-positive cells diluted in a background of HPV-negative cells (K562), and a negative control (K562 cells), in addition to the manufacturer’s controls, are included in each experiment. Samples positive for ß-globin will be considered of sufficient quality for analysis. The HPV type will be reported for positive samples.

Data Processing and Editing

Read the General Documentation on Laboratory Data file for detailed data processing and editing protocols.

Laboratory Quality Assurance and Monitoring

The NHANES quality control and quality assurance protocols (QA/QC) meet the 1988 Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments mandates. Detailed QA/QC instructions are discussed in the NHANES Laboratory/Medical Technologists Procedures Manual (LPM). Read the General Documentation on Laboratory Data file for detailed QA/QC protocols.

Analytic Notes

The analysis of NHANES laboratory data must be conducted with the key survey design and basic demographic variables. The NHANES Household Questionnaire Data Files contain demographic data, health indicators, and other related information collected during household interviews. They also contain all survey design variables and sample weights for these age groups. The phlebotomy file includes auxiliary information, such as the conditions precluding venipuncture. The household questionnaire and phlebotomy files may be linked to the laboratory data file using the unique survey participant identifier SEQN.

Exam sample weights should be used for analyses. Please refer to the NHANES Analytic Guidelines and the on-line NHANES Tutorial  for further details on the use of sample weights and other analytic issues.

The public release data file includes Oral HPV data for participants aged 18–69. Data for youth aged 14–17 years are available through the NCHS Research Data Center (RDC).
