Abstract excerpt
This study was undertaken to further examine the role of the host response to parvovirus B19 in the development of symptoms and consequences of viral persistence. Genomic DNA from 42 patients with symptomatic B19 infection was analyzed using the HuSNP assay (Affymetrix), and the results were compared with those from analysis of 53 healthy control individuals. Fifty-seven single-nucleotide polymorphisms were...
