Spanish HIV-1-infected long-term nonprogressors of more than 15 years have an increased frequency of the CX3CR1 249I variant allele
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to determine whether functionally active CX3CR1 genetic variants are associated with long-term nonprogressive (LTNP) infection of less than 15 years in HIV-1 infected Spanish patients. The result shows that CX3CR1 249I variant allele is more frequent in Spanish HIV-1 infected LTNPs of less than 15 years, and the effect is independent of the presence of the CCR5(delta)32 allele.

Effect of genetic variants of CCR2 and CCL2 on the natural history of HIV-1 infection: CCL2-2518GG is overrepresented in a Cohort of Spanish HIV-1-infected subjects
Article Abstract:
A study was carried out to determine whether functionally active CCR2 and CCL2 genetic variants influence the risk of infection and disease progression in a cohort of white Spaniards. The distribution of CCL2 alleles showed no significant differences between groups but HIV-1-infected individuals had a significantly higher prevalence of the variant homozygous CCL2 GG genotype as compared to EUs.

Lack of association of SDF-1 3'A variant allele with long-term nonprogressive HIV-1 infection is extended beyond 16 years
Article Abstract:
The frequency of the SDF-1 3'A allelic variant in a cohort of white Spaniards made up of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-1-infected long-term nonprogressors (LTNPs) older than 16 years of age, HIV-1-infected usual progressors and a group of healthy controls are studied. The results indicate that the SDF-1 3' A polymorphism is not a determinant of LTNP in HIV-1-infected Spanish patients.
