- W837449850 abstract "Mutations in genes that encode chemokines and chemokine receptors have been implicated in host susceptibility to human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection, and subsequent progression to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). More recently, the associations between these genetic variants and HIV-1/AIDS pathogenesis have emerged as being population-specific. Limited research exists on the effects of previously reported HIV-1/AIDS-associated polymorphisms in African-based ethnic groups, particularly those residing in the pandemic-stricken regions of the world. This prompted our case-control study of Sub-Saharan Africans of Xhosa descent, consisting of 215 HIV-1 seropositive and 113 HIV-1 seronegative individuals. We screened CCR5, CCR2, CX3CR1 and CCL5 (RANTES), with significance being observed for three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including CCR5-2733A>G, CCR5-2135C>T and CX3CR1V249I (G>A). The CCR5-2733 G allele (P = 0.0409) together with the heterozygous genotype, CCR5-2733 AG (P = 0.0270), was associated with a reduced risk for HIV-1 infection. The CX3CR1249I allele (P = 0.0479) was also associated with reduced risk to HIV-1 infection. The opposite was observed for the CCR5-2135 T allele (P = 0.0024) and homozygosity for CCR5-2135 TT (P = 0.0096), which were associated with increased susceptibility to HIV-1 infection. All these associations with susceptibility to HIV-1 infection appear to be unique to the Xhosa ethnic group. This result emphasises the importance of elucidating the specific effect of known HIV-1/AIDS candidate gene variants in understudied populations." @default.
