Abstract: | To determine the influence of host genetics on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 infection, we examined 94 repeatedly exposed seronegative (ES) individuals for polymorphisms in multiple genes and compared the results with those for 316 HIV-1-seropositive and 425 HIV-1-seronegative individuals. The frequency of homozygous C-C chemokine receptor (CCR) 5- Delta 32 was higher in ES (3.2%) than in HIV-1-seropositive individuals (0.0%; P=.012). However, the CCR5-59029A, CCR2-64I, stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1-3'A, RANTES (regulated on activation, normally T cell-expressed and -secreted)-403A, and RANTES-28G polymorphisms were not associated with resistance to HIV-1 infection. Furthermore, we identified novel variants in the DC-SIGN (dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing nonintegrin) repeat region and observed that heterozygous DC-SIGN reduced the risk of HIV-1 infection (3.2% in ES individuals vs. 0.0% in HIV-1-seropositive individuals; P=.011). |
