Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic variants of the genes encoding HIV-1 co-receptors and their ligands, CCR5-Delta32, CCR5m303A, CCR2-64I and SDF1-3'A, are implicated in the susceptibility to HIV-1 infection, and the prevalence of these mutations varies by ethnicity. However, little is known about their distribution in Uighurs. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed at characterizing the frequency of these HIV-related gene variants in a...
