* p-values are reported from repeated-measures logistic regression to account for within family correlation. All p-values test for the significance of the characteristic after adjusting for age, in both children and adults, and the quadratic trend in age for children.

⁺ Pos = CMV seropositive. Neg. = CMV seronegative. %Pos = the percentage of all test results that were positive.
