Global human genetics of HIV-1 infection and China

Cell Res. 2005 Nov-Dec;15(11-12):833-42. doi: 10.1038/sj.cr.7290355.

Abstract

Genetic polymorphisms in human genes can influence the risk for HIV-1 infection and disease progression, although the reported effects of these alleles have been inconsistent. This review highlights the recent discoveries on global and Chinese genetic polymorphisms and their association with HIV-1 transmission and disease progression.
