HIV-1 viral protein R (Vpr) plays important roles in HIV-1 replication. Despite the identification of a number of HLA class I-associated immune escape mutations; it is yet known whether immune-driven Vpr polymorphisms are associated with disease outcome. Hereby, we comprehensively analyzed Vpr sequence polymorphisms and their association with disease outcome and host HLA genotypes, by using plasma viral RNA...
