Interferon-γ-inducible protein 16 (IFI16) plays a pivotal role in the death of bystander CD4(+) T-cells. Here, we demonstrate that SNP rs1417806 in IFI16 is associated with CD4(+) T-cell counts at set point and HIV-1 disease progression, indicating that IFI16 affects HIV-1 pathogenesis especially during the early phase of infection.
干扰素γ诱导蛋白16(IFI16)在旁观者CD4(+) T细胞死亡中起关键作用。在此,我们证明IFI16中的单核苷酸多态性rs1417806与设定点时的CD4(+) T细胞计数及HIV-1疾病进展相关,表明IFI16尤其在感染早期影响HIV-1发病机制。
