Journal ArticleDOI

The Killer Immunoglobulin-Like Receptor Gene Cluster: Tuning the Genome for Defense*

TL;DR: The polymorphism of the KIR locus parallels that of the MHC, facilitating the adaptation of the immune system to a dynamic, challenging environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

AIDS restriction HLA allotypes target distinct intervals of HIV-1 pathogenesis.

TL;DR: It is shown that three distinct HLA alleles known to alter the overall rate of AIDS progression act during distinct intervals after HIV-1 infection, which suggests alternative functional mechanisms in immune defense against this dynamic and chronic immunosuppressive disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polymorphisms of large effect explain the majority of the host genetic contribution to variation of HIV-1 virus load

Paul J. McLaren, +53 more
TL;DR: Heritability analysis demonstrated that common human genetic variation—mostly in the HLA and CCR5 regions—explains 25% of the variability in viral load.
