Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The genotypic polymorphisms of CCR5, CCR2, and SDF1 were analyzed to determine their impact as potential confounders with regard to disease progression because of the role that host genetic factors appear to be involved in determining rates of disease progression. METHODS: Genomic DNA was extracted from Ethylenediaminetetraacetate whole blood using Qiagen DNA extraction kit. The amplification of CCR5,...
