Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Over 100 types of HPVs have been identified; about 40 of these types have the potential to infect the genital area.
About 90% of genital warts are caused by two specific types of the virus (HPV-6 and -11). These HPV types are considered "low risk," meaning they have a low cancer-causing potential.
Other HPV types are known causes of premalignant changes and cervical cancers in women. HPV-16, one of the "high-risk" types and is responsible for about 50% of cervical cancers. HPV types 18, 31, and 45 are other known "high risk" virus types. High-risk HPV types are also referred to as oncogenic HPV types.
