摘要
The human genome sequencing project and similar initiatives for other species have revealed that a large portion of vertebrate genomic DNA consists of genetic elements that are present in multiple copies. Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) represent a class of interspersed mobile repetitive elements known as retrotransposons. HERVs are closely related to certain members of the Retroviridae, an important family of human and animal viruses that includes HIV and human T-lymphotropic virus, causes of AIDS and adult T-cell leukemia, respectively. Recent studies have implicated HERVs in a wide variety of pathologic and physiologic processes. This article discusses studies that implicate HERVs in many human autoimmune diseases.
