Cytomegalovirus (CMV) encodes multiple microRNAs. While these have been partially characterized in vitro, their relevance to clinical CMV infection has not been evaluated. We analyzed samples from a cohort of solid organ transplant patients with CMV disease (n = 245) for viral microRNA expression. Several CMV microRNAs were readily detectable in patients with CMV disease in variable relative abundance. Expression level generally correlated with DNA viral load and the absence of viral microRNA wa ...[more]
