A group in Madrid found a genetic subset of MS patients with HHV-6A active replication and MHC2TA rs4,774C or another polymorphism in tight linkage disequilibrium with it. There is an association between a polymorphism in the IL-12p40 gene and cytomegalovirus reactivation after kidney transplantation. HLA class I polymorphisms may predispose patients to development of IM upon primary EBV infection.
