Background: Background: In spite of many reports on persistent low CD4 T cell counts and change in immune-related gene expression level in patients with HIV infection, there is still uncertainty about significant association between gene expression level and HIV infection in patients with and without discordant immune response (DIR). The aim of this study was to compare the expression level of CD4, CCL5, IFN-γ, STAT1, APOBEC3G, CD45, and ICAM-1 genes in HIV-1-positive patients with and without DIR.
Methods: Methods: In this study, 30 HIV-1-positive patients (15 patients with and 15 patients without DIR [control group]) were included.
