The APOBEC3G gene rs2294367(C>G) variant is associated with HIV-1 infection in Moroccan subjects.

The APOBEC3G gene is one of the most important host factors thathas beenfound previously associated withHIV infection and AIDS progression. The host's susceptibility to viral infectionmay be influenced by any APOBEC3G genetic variation.The main aim of thecurrent study was to investigate the association of three SNPs in the APOBEC3G gene (rs8177832, rs35228531, and rs2294367) respectively, with disease outcomes in Moroccan HIV-1 infected patients.

Prevalence of HBsAg among Moroccan HIV-1 infected patients and APOBEC3G variant frequencies in HIV-1/HBV co-infection.

Introduction: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) / hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes higher rates of liver disease compared to infection with just one virus. Co-infection can accelerate the progression to liver fibrosis or hepatocellular carcinoma and disturb the treatment response. APOBEC3G is a host defense factor which interferes with HIV-1 and HBV.
