However, the absence of known infectious members of the HERV-K(HML2) family, and the lack of elements with a full coding potential within the published human genome sequence, suggests to some that the family is less likely to be active at present.
Porén, a ausencia de membros infecciosos coñecidos da familia HERV-K(HML2), e a falta de elementos cun potencial de codificación completo na secuencia publicada do xenoma humano, fixo que algúns autores suxerisen que é menos probable que a familia estea activa no presente.
