Abstract

(Val)ganciclovir is used to treat cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection following solid organ (SOT) or hematopoietic stem cell (HSCT) transplantation. Treatment failures occur, but the contribution from 39 known ganciclovir-related mutations (GRMs) in the CMV-UL97 gene remains controversial. We propose a categorization of these GRMs potentially useful when interpreting sequence analyses in clinical settings. The UL97 gene was sequenced from first/recurrent CMV infections among consecutive SOT or HSCT recipients during 2004-2009. GRMs were categorized as: Signature GRM (sGRM) if in vitro ganciclovir IC(50) ratio for mutated versus wild-type virus >2 (n = 24); polymorphic GRM (pGRM) if ratio
