Abstract
Genomic instability is a hallmark of most human cancers including high‐risk human papillomavirus (HPV)‐associated anogenital neoplasia. The two HPV‐encoded oncoproteins, E6 and E7, can independently induce chromosomal abnormalities. We summarize the current state of knowledge concerning HPV‐induced genomic instability and discuss its significance in the context of human carcinogenesis.
