Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The most important factor limiting the success of an antiretroviral therapy is toxicity. The HLA-B*5701 allele is predictive of hypersensitivity reaction to Abacavir, and this gene is in a perfect linkage disequilibrium with the rs2395029 SNP present in the HCP5 gene. METHODS: Genomic DNA was extracted from blood obtained from 201 unrelated healthy Argentinean volunteers. The DNA was subjected to an...
