Multiancestry sex-stratified genomic associations with HIV viral load and controller status from the ICGH

Abstract excerpt

Biological sex and host genetics influence HIV pathogenesis. Females have a higher likelihood of spontaneous viral control and lower set point viral load (spVL). No prior studies have assessed sex-specific genetics of HIV. To address this, we performed a sex-stratified genome-wide association study using data from the ICGH. Although it is the largest collection of genomic data in HIV, this multiethnic sample of...
