Abstract
Summary of the research findings
Objective: To date, CCR5 variants remain the only human genetic factors to be confirmed to impact HIV-1 acquisition. However, protective CCR5 variants are largely absent in African populations, in which sporadic resistance to HIV-1 infection is still unexplained. We investigated whether common genetic variants associate with HIV-1 susceptibility in Africans.
531 Sub-Saharan African ancestry cases, 848 Sub-Saharan African ancestry controls
