PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Individuals homozygous for a deletion in the chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) gene (CCR5Δ32) are almost completely resistant to HIV-1 infection. A recent report that transplantation of hematopoietic stem or progenitor cells (HSCs) from a CCR5Δ32 homozygous donor effectively cured an HIV patient has increased interest in the development of strategies that could be used to recreate this phenotype...
