Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: BKPyV is associated with polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (PVAN), a major cause of graft rejection in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Mutations occur in the transcriptional control region (TCR) of BKPyV, but whether they are required for the development of PVAN is not completely understood. To this end, we characterized BKPyV TCRs from KTRs to assess whether TCR mutations are associated with...
