HLA and HIV-1: heterozygote advantage and B*35-Cw*04 disadvantage.

TL;DR: The extended survival of 28 to 40 percent of HIV-1-infected Caucasian patients who avoided AIDS for ten or more years can be attributed to their being fully heterozygous at HLA class I loci, to their lacking the AIDS-associated alleles B*35 and Cw*04, or to both.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contrasting Genetic Influence of CCR2 and CCR5 Variants on HIV-1 Infection and Disease Progression

TL;DR: Genetic association analysis of five acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) cohorts revealed that although CCR2-64I exerts no influence on the incidence of HIV- 1 infection, HIV-1-infected individuals carrying the C CR2- 64I allele progressed to AIDS 2 to 4 years later than individuals homozygous for the common allele.
