Abstract
Susceptibility for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection may be influenced by host genetics. Recent findings with a Wistar rat model raised the possibility that the gamma-secretase pathway may be associated with an individual's susceptibility to infection. A functional single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the gamma-secretase component APH1B (Phe217Leu; rs1047552) was therefore analyzed for association with HIV-1 infection. The SNP showed a tendency for association with HIV-1 infection in a Xhosa indigenous South African Bantu study (P=0.087), and associated significantly in a Caucasian Dutch study (P=0.049). Together, the results suggest a role for the gamma-secretase pathway in susceptibility to HIV-1 infection. J. Med. Virol. 81:18471851, 2009. (C) 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc
