Abstract excerpt
Susceptibility for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection may be influenced by host genetics. Recent findings with a Wistar rat model raised the possibility that the gamma-secretase pathway may be associated with an individual's susceptibility to infection. A functional single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the gamma-secretase component APH1B (Phe217Leu; rs1047552) was therefore analyzed for...
