To study the association between common AIDS restriction genes and slow disease progression among perinatally-infected children in India.
ART-naïve children were identified and selected host factors including CCR5-∆32, SDF1-3'A, CCR5-59029G, HLA-B27, B57 were studied using allele-specific PCR-RFLP and SSPGo HLA typing kits.
Among 165 children, 10 (6%) long-term non-progressors and 8 (5%) slow progressors were identified. For comparison, 12 children with normal progression of HIV were included. The frequencies of CCR5-∆32 deletion, SDF1-3'A and CCR5-59029G did not differ significantly. HLA-B27 and B57 were observed only in long-term non-progressors or slow progressors, who also harbored either SDF1-3'A and/or CCR5-59029G.
There is an association between host genetic factors and slow disease progression in this population.
研究印度围产期感染儿童中常见艾滋病限制基因与疾病进展缓慢之间的关联。
识别出未接受抗逆转录病毒治疗的儿童,并使用等位基因特异性聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性(PCR-RFLP)和序列特异性引物-凝胶电泳(SSPGo)HLA分型试剂盒研究包括CCR5-∆32、SDF1-3'A、CCR5-59029G、HLA-B27、B57在内的宿主因素。
在165名儿童中,识别出10名(6%)长期无进展者和8名(5%)疾病进展缓慢者。作为对照,纳入了12名HIV病情正常进展的儿童。CCR5-∆32缺失、SDF1-3'A和CCR5-59029G的频率无显著差异。仅在长期无进展者或疾病进展缓慢者中观察到HLA-B27和B57,这些儿童还携带SDF1-3'A和/或CCR5-59029G。
该人群中宿主遗传因素与疾病进展缓慢之间存在关联。
