We previously identified human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) infection in the pathogenesis of glioma. Direct repeat (DR)7, encoded by HHV-6, has been reported to possess malignant transforming activity and involved in Hodgkin's lymphoma carcinogenesis. Here, we aimed to determine the role of DR7 in the development and progression of glioma.
