Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TLRs with infant HIV-1 acquisition and viral control. DESIGN: Infant HIV-1 outcomes were assessed in a Kenyan perinatal HIV-1 cohort. METHODS: Infants were genotyped for six candidate and 118 haplotype-tagging polymorphisms in TLRs 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9, MYD88 and TIRAP. Cox proportional hazards and linear regression were...
