摘要
综述了JC病毒的遗传特性、传播途径及相关疾病。JC病毒是人类多瘤病毒的一种,在人群中广泛存在。JC病毒感染发生在人的童年时期,没有明显的症状,对绝大多数人没有危害,但对于免疫力缺陷和长期服用免疫抑制药物的患者,能够引起致命的进行性多灶性白质脑病(Procreative Multifocal Leukoence Phalopathy,PML)。由于JC病毒属无症状感染,其具体感染途径至今不清楚。JC病毒具有家庭内部传播的特点,从父母传给子女,属事实上的垂直传播。因此,可以通过研究JC病毒的基因分型来研究人类的起源和迁移。
The human polyomavirus JC virus, is ubiquitous in the human population and harmless for majority of individuals, infecting children asymptomatically. The JC virus is the etiologic agent of the fatal demyelinating disease Progressive Multifocal Leukoence phalopathy (PML) in immunocompromised individuals. However, there is no information available regarding the route of transmission, mainly because no obvious symptom is correlated with JC virus infection. The transmission of JC virus is considered virtually vertically from parents to children within the family. Thus the genotype identified as nucleartide polymophis of JC virus can be used as markers of ancient groups, which offers a novel means of tracing human migrations.
