OBJECTIVES: Immune activation, among others driven by interferon (IFN)-α and IFN-γ activation, is a main feature of progressive HIV infection. Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) 1 and 3 are negative feedback regulators of the IFN-α and IFN-γ axis. Here, we analyzed the role of 9 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 genes for their association with an HIV progression rate in a...
