Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Recently, the activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM) and tyrosylprotein sulfotransferase 2 (TPST2) have been identified as important host dependency factors (HDFs) for in-vitro HIV-1 replication. To determine whether these genes play a role in HIV-1 pathogenesis, we analysed whether naturally occurring genetic variations were associated with the clinical course of infection....
