| Abstract: | Summary. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) displays genetic polymorphisms. HCMV disease and tissue tropism may be related to specific genomic
variability among strains. This work analyzed the genetic polymorphism of UL141 open reading frame (ORF), one of the genes
in HCMV UL/b′ region, from 21 clinical strains. 8 previously published UL141 sequences in the GenBank were used for sequence
comparison. Detailed sequence analysis showed that the UL141 gene was highly conserved at both the nucleotide and amino acid
level. The coding regions were identical in size. The nucleotide and amino acid sequence identities among all strains were
96.9–100% and 97.6–100%, respectively. |
