“…Whereas CCR5 ORF ⌬32/⌬32 homozygosity occurs in just 1% of Caucasians, the CCR5 Ϫ2459 A/G plus CCR5 ORF ⌬32/wt or CCR2 ORF 64I/wt genotype combinations comprise approximately 5% each. However, the effects of these two genotype combinations on the susceptibility to HIV-1 infection in vivo have not been conclusively determined (6,7,13,14,17,22,27,30,31,37,49,53,55,61). Here, we have compared the frequencies of the CCR5 ORF wt/⌬32, CCR5 Ϫ2459A/G, and CCR2 ORF 64V/I alleles and allele combinations between the ES and the low-risk control group.…”
