Patterns of ethnic diversity among the genes that influence AIDS.

Abstract excerpt

Although HIV-1/AIDS emerged late in the last century, more than 42 million individuals have been infected and 25 million have died worldwide, making AIDS, like malaria, a strong selective force for disease-associated genetic factors. Many of the genes that mediate immune response or that are co-opted by HIV-1 for completion of its lifecycle show differences in allele frequencies, as a result of drift, migration...
