Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human cyclophilin A (CypA) encoded by peptidyl prolyl isomerase A gene (PPIA), enhances HIV-1 replication by aiding capsid uncoating. The association of genetic variation in the PPIA regulatory region with susceptibility to HIV-1 infection, disease progression, and gene expression among black South Africans at risk for infection or infected with HIV-1 is unknown. METHODS: We genotyped 539 participants...
