Background: The high-risk genotype of human papilloma virus (HPV) has been known as the most important carcinogen in uterine cervical carcinoma. It remains unclear that the infection with multiple high-risk genotypes carry a higher malignant potential risk compared with a single genotype in uterine cervix. Methods: This is a retrospective study of 695 patients underwent conization at Kyungpook National University Hospital in South Korea from 2012 to 2023. Participants were required to have undergone an HPV test by cervical swab within 12 months prior to the surgery. Patients with a negative result or a previous history of cancer were excluded. Additionally, patients older than 50 years were excluded to reduce bias. We included patients with the most common genotype in the cohort with only one high-risk genotype, and patients with multiple high-risk genotypes including the most common genotype. We categorized them based on pathologic results. Patients with HSIL, carcinoma in situ (CIS), invasive carcinoma were classified as ≥HSIL, while those with CIS, invasive carcinoma were classified as ≥CIS. The HPV test was performed using DNA microarray or real-time polymerase chain reaction, can detect 18 high-risk genotypes and 14 low-risk genotypes. The infection status of low-risk HPV and the vaccination for HPV were not considered in this study. The statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS (version 26). Results: A total of 146 patients younger than 50 years found to be infected with HPV high-risk genotype 16 or 16 with other high-risk genotypes. The HPV 16 single infection and multiple infection were found in 79 (54.1%), 67 (45.9%), respectively. Among patients with HPV 16 single infection, 61 (77.2%) were diagnosed with ≥HSIL and 45 (57.0%) were ≥CIS. In the HPV 16 multiple infection group, 56 (83.6%) were diagnosed with ≥HSIL and 34 (50.7%) were ≥CIS. There was no statistically significant correlation based on the HPV 16 single or multiple infection status for either ≥HSIL (HPV 16 single infection vs. multiple infection, odds ratio (OR)=0.666 [95% CI=0.289-1.531], p=0.407) or ≥CIS (HPV 16 single infection vs. multiple infection, OR=1.285 [95% CI=0.668-2.471], p=0.507). Conclusions: Among young women with only a single HPV high-risk genotype, the genotype 16 was the most common. Compared to the infection group with a single HPV high-risk 16 genotype, the malignant potential was not found to be significantly increased in the infection group with multiple HPV high-risk genotypes, including HPV genotype 16.
