Abstract
A study on the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA sequences an d focal epithelial hyperplasia (FEH) in a family of Venezuelan ancestr y has revealed that FEH is an HPV-induced disease presenting familial aggregation. The genealogical evidence indicates a genetic predisposit ion to the disease.
