Filaggrin proteins display structural and physiological functions in the skin but is also expressed in the oral cavity, cervix, endometrium, and vagina. The epidermal layer of the skin provides a barrier against environmental exposures including microorganisms. These two HPV types are likely responsible for 70% of cervical cancers and most of the non-cervical HPV-related cancers.

Vaccination against the two most important oncogenic HPV types (type 16 and 18) lowers the risk of anal, vulva, vaginal and penile infections with the two HPV types and decreases the risk of precancerous cervical lesions. The developments in prophylactic HPV vaccination have renewed the interest in HPV-related cancers and cell changes. With the introduction of organized cervical cytological screening programs, cervical cancer incidence has been substantially reduced. Anal cancer primarily affects gay and bisexual men and is rare but increasing. Cervical cancer is the fourth highest contributor to women cancer mortality worldwide and the second most common cause of cancer mortality among women in Africa. Precancerous lesions such as dysplasia and carcinoma in situ (CIS) of the cervix are common among women and if left untreated may lead to cancer. Most known HPV types are largely harmless, some cause warts, whereas oncogenic types can cause pre-cancer and cancer of the cervix, vulva, vagina, penis, anus and a subgroup of head and neck cancers.
