Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Core fucosylation by fucosyltransferase 8 (FUT8) is an important posttranslational modification that impacts components of the immune system. Genetic variations in FUT8 can alter its function and could, therefore, play a role in the antiviral immune response and pathogenesis of HIV-1. This study analysed the effect of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in FUT8 on the clinical course of HIV-1...
