Objective. To study the prevalence of inherited chromosomally integrated human herpesvirus 6A/B (iciHHV-6A/B) in Russia.
Subjects and methods. A total of 262 apparently healthy people living in Moscow and its Region, as well as 3 members of one family were examined to establish the hereditary transmission of the virus. The investigators used diagnostic and exploratory research techniques, such as real-time PCR, Sanger sequencing, and massively parallel sequencing.
Results. HHV-6A/B DNA was detected in the blood of 5.7% (15/262) cases. The concentrations of HHV-6A/B DNA were <1.0, 1.0–2.0, and >5.0 lg copies/105 cells in 12 (4.6%), 2 (0.8%), and 1 (0.4%) cases, respectively. PCR analysis of the hair follicles and nail plates verified iciHHV-6B status in one examinee. Interpretation of this case established the hereditary transmission in three generations: mother–daughter–grandson. Phylogenomic analysis showed that the Russian clinical endogenous isolates formed a unique monophilic branch within the clade that was represented mainly by iciHHV-6B isolates from Europe.
Conclusion. The investigation provided preliminary data on the detection rate of inherited iciHHV-6A/B in Russia. The prevalence of inherited iciHHV-6B was 0.4% (1/262; 95% CI, 0–2.1); inherited iciHHV-6B was detected and confirmed by laboratory tests in 3 generations. Endogenous iciHHV-6A was not identified. Further large-scale studies are needed in Russia to understand the genetic diversity and geographic stratification of inherited iciHHV-6A and iciHHV-6B.
