Human endogenous retroviruses (HERV) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of
several nervous system disorders including multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral …

Within the human genome reside thousands of retrovirus-like sequences which comprise
nearly 8% of the human genome. Originating from ancient retroviruses that overcame host …

The causes of multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis have long remained
elusive. A new category of pathogenic components, normally dormant within human …

Several lines of investigation have provided strong indications for an association between
the immune‐mediated, neurologic disease multiple sclerosis (MS) and human endogenous …

Endogenous retroviruses are pathogenic–in other species than the human. Disease
associations for Human Endogenous RetroViruses (HERV s) are emerging, but so far an …

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) constitute 5–8% of human genomic DNA and are
replication incompetent despite expression of individual HERV genes from different …

The role of human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) in disease pathogenesis is unclear.
We show that HERV-K is activated in a subpopulation of patients with sporadic amyotrophic …

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are ancient retroviral elements, which invaded
the human germ line several million years ago. Subsequent retrotransposition events …

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are genetic elements resulting from relics of
ancestral infection of germline cells, now recognized as cofactors in the etiology of several …

The hypothesis that human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) play a role in autoimmune
diseases is subject to increasing attention. HERVs represent both putative susceptibility …
