Analysis of measles virus binding sites of the CD46 gene in patients with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis.

Measles virus (MV) binding sites of the CD46 gene were sequenced in patients with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) and in controls. There were 3 novel polymorphisms, including C/T at nucleotide position 38 (C/T38), G/A at position 176 (G/A176), and C/T at position 453 (C/T453), at allele frequencies of.97:.03, .99:.01, and.97:.03, respectively. The G/A176 polymorphism causes an Arg/Gln amino acid change within the essential binding sites of MV, whereas the C/A38 polymorphism causes a Ser/Phe change outside the MV binding sites. The C/T453 polymorphism does not produce an amino acid change. Two of the 40 SSPE patients and 2 of the 32 controls had both C/T38 and C/T453 polymorphisms in heterozygous patterns. One control subject, but no SSPE patients, had the G/A176 polymorphism in a heterozygous pattern. Thus, it is not likely that CD46 gene alteration has a role as a host susceptibility factor in the development of SSPE.[1]
