Abstract:
We performed a genome-wide association study comparing a cohort of 144 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV type 1-infected, untreated white long-term nonprogressors (LTNPs) with a cohort of 605 HIV-1-infected white seroconverters. Forty-seven single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), located from class I to class III major histocompatibility complex (MHC) subregions, show statistical association (false discovery rate, <0.05) with the LTNP condition, among which 5 reached genome-wide significance after Bonferonni correction. The MHC LTNP-associated SNPs are ordered in ≥4 linkage disequilibrium blocks; interestingly, an MHC class III linkage disequilibrium block (defined by the rs9368699 SNP) seems specific to the LTNP phenotype.
