Abstract:
GB virus C (GBV-C) markers were analyzed in two to three generations in three families with documented vertical transmission of GBV-C. None of the maternal grandparents had GBV-C markers, whereas the male spouses had GBV-C envelope 2 antibodies. Evidence was found for intrafamilial transmission but not for GBV-C transmission over three generations.
