Detection of human papilloma virus (HPV) types and chromosome 17 losses in the 14 patients studied

Patient	HPV type	Centromere no.	HER2/NEU	p53	D17S34
*Patients with fluorescence ratios outside the normal range (0.89–1.05).
†This patient showed loss of the centromeric probe with accompanying loss of all three locus specific probes, giving normal ratios.
