Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Human herpesviruses 6A and 6B (HHV6-A and HHV-6B; species Human herpesvirus 6A and Human herpesvirus 6B ) have the capacity to integrate into telomeres, the essential capping structures of chromosomes that play roles in cancer and ageing. About 1% of people worldwide are carriers of chromosomally integrated HHV-6 (ciHHV-6), which is inherited as a genetic trait. Understanding the consequences...
