Abstract excerpt
The 32-bp deletion (CCR5del32 mutation) in the CCR5 (chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 5) gene, encoding CCR5 chemokine receptor, is one of the factors determining natural resistance to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection. In the present study, the samples of Russians (n = 107), Tuvinians (n = 50), and HIV-infected individuals were examined for the presence of CCR5del32 mutation in the CCR5 gene. The...
