Abstract excerpt

Infection with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), the etiological agent of Kaposi's sarcoma, has been shown to display strong familial aggregation, in countries in which HHV-8 infection is endemic. We investigated 40 large families (608 subjects aged one to 88 years) living in an isolated area of Cameroon in which HHV-8 is highly endemic. We performed a two-step genetic analysis for HHV-8 infection status...
