OBJECTIVE: It is known that a 32-bp-deleted CCR5 mutant (CCR5-Delta32) plays a critical role in resistance to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. We became aware of a number of seronegative patients at high risk of HIV-1 infections. Since CCR-Delta32 is not found in Thais, we examined the role of stromal cell-derived factor (SDF) 1-3'A polymorphism in resistance to HIV-1 in seronegative Thai...
