Major histocompatibility complex genotype is associated with disease progression and virus load levels in a cohort of human immunodeficiency virus type 1-infected Caucasians and African Americans.

Abstract excerpt

To assess the influence of HLA on AIDS-free survival, human immunodeficiency virus load, and CD4 cell counts, 91 Caucasian and 48 African-American seroprevalent men were typed for HLA classes I and II and TAP alleles. HLA associations with these markers were assessed by assigning sum integer scores based on 7 class I allele-TAP variants (+1) and 13 class I-class II-TAP combinations (-1) with different AIDS-free...
