Abstract The aim of this study was to characterize Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) drug resistance mutations in UL97 and UL54 genes in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT) recipients in Portugal. We have performed a retrospective study with 22 patients from a cohort of patients with different haematological malignancies submitted to allo-HSCT between 2010 and 2014. Patients were selected according to clinical and laboratory data of HCMV infection and management. HCMV resistance mutations were characterized by sequencing of UL97 and UL54 genes. Sequence data were compared with: 1) HCMV genome reference strain AD169; and also 2) UL97 from Merlin strain (GenBank: AY446894.2), and UL54 from TB40/E strain (GenBank: ABV71585.1). Resistance mutations were identified in seven patients (32%): five harboured resistance mutations in UL97: A594V (n = 2), C592G (n = 1), L595W (n = 1), and C603W (n = 1); and two harboured resistance mutations in UL54: P522S and L957F, one in each patient. Several natural polymorphisms and unknown mutations were found in both UL97 and UL54, with the majority of the patients harbouring more than one unknown mutation in UL97 but only one in UL54. No simultaneous mutations were found. This is the first study in Portugal to characterize HCMV UL97 and UL54 sequences and to identify HCMV drug-resistance mutations in allo-HSCT patients. The UL97 resistance mutations found were amongst the most frequent resistant mutations, while UL54 L957F mutation was here reported for the first time in a clinical specimen. This information provides important information regarding HCMV strains and antiviral resistance in our population.

Note
Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
  • Gene/Protein/Region studied in the article is marked.
  • Genotype/Subtype: Refers to the viral genotype or subtype where the mutation occurs. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main Genotype/Subtype studied in the article is marked.
  • Viral Reference: Refers to the standard virus strain used to compare and analyze viral sequences.
Functional Impact and Mechanisms
  • Disease: An abnormal physiological state with specific symptoms and signs caused by viral infection.
  • Immune: The article focuses on the study of mutations and immune.
  • Target Gene: Host genes that viral mutations may affect.
Clinical and Epidemiological Correlations
  • Clinical Information: The study is a clinical or epidemiological study and provides basic information about the population.
  • Treatment: The study mentioned a certain treatment method, such as drug resistance caused by mutations. If the study does not specifically indicate the relationship between mutations and their correspondence treatment, the main treatment studied in the article is marked.
  • Location: The source of the research data.
