Which types of HPV are most likely to cause disease?

CDC estimated that 36,500 people developed cancers attributable to HPV infections each year between 2015 to 2019. Of these annual cases, about 94% could have been prevented by the 9-valent HPV vaccine, including about 30,100 cases caused by HPV types 16 and 18 and 4,300 cases caused by HPV types 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58.

HPV types 6 or 11 cause 90% of anogenital warts (condylomata) and most cases of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis.
