We studied the impact of CCR2-V64I polymorphisms on the development of NPI in 121 HIV-1 patients. The CCR2-64-I allele was associated with rate of progression to NPI when measured from the first study visit (Log Rank p=0.01) or from the estimated time of seroconversion (p=0.02). CCR2-V64I was not associated with plasma or CSF HIV-1 RNA load, suggesting that the impact of CCR2 on neuropathogenesis may involve alterations in inflammatory responses within the CNS rather than a direct impact on viral entry or replication. | | Funding: NIAID:AI AI-36214, NIAID:AI AI-39004, NIMH:MH MH 58076, NIMH:MH MH 62512 | | Keywords: Adult, Analysis of Variance, Cognition Disorders, Comparative Study, Female, HIV, HIV Infections, Humans, Male, Middle Aged, Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1, Neuropsychological Tests, Polymorphism, Genetic, Receptors, CCR5, Receptors, Chemokine, Research Support, U.S. Gov''t, P.H.S. |
