| distribution of hiv/aids protective sdf1, ccr5 and ccr2 gene variants within cretan population. | an interesting finding in the epidemiology of human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) infection is that certain mutations in genes coding for chemokine receptors and their ligands may confer resistance to hiv-1 infection and/or aids progression. the mutations most frequently studied are the ccr5-delta32, ccr2-64i and sdf1-3'a. we examined the frequency of the above polymorphisms within the cretan population, evaluating their contribution to a protective genetic background against hiv infection and pr ... | 2005 | 16286055 |
