DNA-methylation is an epigenetic modification. These modifications of the DNA do not change the genetic sequence itself, but affect the level ‘above’ it: chemical modifications of the DNA or the histones (where the DNA is wound around) are added or altered. DNA-methylation is the modification where a methyl group is added on cytosine (C) residues in CG dinucleotides. If this takes place in the so-called CpG islands (where CG dinucleotides occur ...
Implementatie van HPV-vaccinatie in België Universiteit Antwerpen
De manier waarop een vaccinatieprogramma georganiseerd en gefinancierd wordt heeft een grote invloed op het vaccinatiegedrag van mensen en op de mate waarin bepaalde doelgroepen bereikt worden. Aan de hand van terugbetalingsgegevens van vaccins voor humaan papillomavirus (HPV) bij de Landsbond der Christelijke Mutualiteiten (LCM) maken we een inschatting van de vaccinatiegraad in de periode voor de gratis universele HPV-vaccinatie via een ...
Validation of BD onclarity HPV assay on vaginal self-samples versus cervical samples using the VALHUDES protocol Universiteit Antwerpen Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND In this study, we evaluated accuracy of HPV testing on self-samples versus clinician-taken samples through the VALHUDES protocol. VALHUDES was designed as a diagnostic test accuracy study, where women referred to colposcopy collected self-samples followed by clinician-taken cervical samples. METHODS Four hundred eighty-five women recruited in five colposcopy clinics (median age 40 years; IQR 31-49) with valid results for all specimens ...
Comparison of the clinical accuracy of Xpert HPV assay on vaginal self-samples and cervical clinician-taken samples within the VALHUDES framework Universiteit Antwerpen
The accuracy of high-risk human papillomavirus testing with the Xpert HPV assay on vaginal self-samples was compared with clinician-taken samples within the VALidation of HUman papillomavirus assays and collection DEvices for Self-samples and urine samples (VALHUDES) framework. Five-hundred and twenty-three women were recruited in five Belgian colposcopy clinics, of whom 483 (median age, 40 years; interquartile range, 31 to 49 years) were ...
Clinical accuracy of alinity m HR HPV assay on self- versus clinician-taken samples using the VALHUDES protocol Universiteit Antwerpen
The VALHUDES protocol was established to evaluate clinical accuracy of human papillomavirus (HPV) assays to detect cervical precancer on first-void urine (FVU) and vaginal self-samples versus matched clinician-collected cervical samples (CCSs). Here we evaluated clinical performance of Alinity m HR HPV assay in a colposcopy referral population. Home-collected FVU (Colli-Pee FV 5020) 1 day before col-poscopy (n = 492), at-clinic collected dry ...
