Abstract excerpt

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) participates in multiple immune functions. Here, we determined whether VDR gene-sequence variations are associated with intersubject differences in the risk of acquiring human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. We assessed this in 460 males exposed to HIV-1 by injection drug use (335 infected and 125 uninfected) and 124 seronegative healthy subjects. Multilocus logistic...
