An Accurate Genetic Colocalisation Method for the HLA Locus

HLA, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Genetic colocalisation analyses are frequently conducted to determine if causal signals at a genetic locus are shared between two phenotypes. However, colocalisation is rarely undertaken at the HLA locus, due to its complex linkage disequilibrium (LD) and high polymorphism density.

Pre-Transplantation Assessment of BK Virus Serostatus: Significance, Current Methods, and Obstacles

Viruses, 2019
The immunosuppression required for graft tolerance in kidney transplant patients can trigger latent BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) reactivation, and the infection can progress to nephropathy and graft rejection.

Polyomavirus in Saliva of HIV-infected Children, Brazil

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
To the Editor: Human polyomaviruses (HPyVs) are members of the family Polyomaviridae. Nine distinct PyVs can infect humans: BKPyV, JCPyV, WUPyV, KIPyV, MCPyV, TSPyV, HPyV6, HPyV7, and HPyV9 (1). Primary infections generally occur early in life, are typically subclinical, and are followed by persistence of the virus in the person.
