A consensus primer-mediated polymerase chain reaction devised to amplify a short sequence in L1 region (L1-PCR) efficiently detected genital human papillomaviruses (HPVs) in clinical materials. Nucleotide sequencing of the amplified fragment showed that L1-PCR is also applicable to hitherto unsequenced HPVs. By comparing the amplified 210 nucleotides HPVs were classified into six groups, which are consistent with clinical pictures and a grouping based on cross-hybridization under the stringent condition.
