Prevalence of UL97 gene mutations and polymorphisms in cytomegalovirus infection in the colon associated with or without ulcerative colitis

Abstract Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation in the colon is common in patients with severe ulcerative colitis (UC). Ganciclovir (GCV) resistance conferring CMV UL97 gene mutations have been reported in recent years. However, the prevalence of UL97 gene mutations in GCV-naive CMV infection in the col...
