Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the leading cause of intrauterine viral infection. The association of genetic polymorphisms in some particular genes with the incidence and severity of congenital infection has been controversial. To address this issue, we analyzed the genotypes of the glycoprotein B (gB), UL144 and UL149 genes of CMV clinical strains obtained from 33 congenitally and 31 postnatally infected...
