Measles virus (MV) binding sites of the CD46 gene were sequenced in patients with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) and in controls. There were 3 novel polymorphisms, including C/T at nucleotide position 38 (C/T38), G/A at position 176 (G/A176), and C/T at position 453 (C/T453), at allele frequencies of.97:.03, .99:.01, and.97:.03, respectively. The G/A176 polymorphism causes an Arg/Gln amino acid change within the essential binding sites of MV, whereas the C/A38 polymorphism causes a Ser/Phe change outside the MV binding sites. The C/T453 polymorphism does not produce an amino acid change. Two of the 40 SSPE patients and 2 of the 32 controls had both C/T38 and C/T453 polymorphisms in heterozygous patterns. One control subject, but no SSPE patients, had the G/A176 polymorphism in a heterozygous pattern. Thus, it is not likely that CD46 gene alteration has a role as a host susceptibility factor in the development of SSPE.
