Common human genetic variants and HIV-1 susceptibility: a genome-wide survey in a homogeneous African population.

OBJECTIVE: To date, CCR5 variants remain the only human genetic factors to be confirmed to impact HIV-1 acquisition. However, protective CCR5 variants are largely absent in African populations, in which sporadic resistance to HIV-1 infection is still unexplained. We investigated whether common genet...
