Abstract excerpt
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) remains a significant threat to graft longevity, primarily reactivating under immunosuppressive conditions to cause BKPyV-associated nephropathy. Despite its clinical importance, high-resolution molecular data regarding the circulating genotypes and mutational landscape in the Pakistani transplant population is critically lacking. This study conducted a blinded molecular investigation to...
