Genetic polymorphisms of CCR5, CCR2, and SDF1 genes have been associated with resistance during human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection and disease progression. In the present report, we studied the frequency and co-occurrence of CCR5Delta32, CCR5-59029A/G, CCR2-64I, and SDF1-3'A allelic variants among HIV-1-seronegative individuals (n = 171) in Moscow. Observed allelic frequencies were 0.0906 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.06-0.1212] for CCR5Delta32, 0.4072 (95% CI, 0.3542-0.4602) for CCR5-59029G, 0.1061 (95% CI, 0.0728-0.1394) for CCR2-64I, and 0.2218 (95% CI 0.1715-0.2721) for SDF1-3'A. A significant linkage disequilibrium (p = 0.0034) between CCR2-64I and SDF1-3'A alleles was observed.

Background: HIV infection and its progression to AIDS depend on several factors including host genetic factors. The immunological mechanisms of host resistance to HIV infection greatly influence the prevalence of HIV in a given region. Worldwide, Cameroon not exempted, the frequency of AIDS-associated genes varies and may influence this prevalence.

The study aimed to determine the frequency of the alleles associated with hereditary immune response in 16 historical populations and assess which evolutionary forces may have contributed to the observed frequency fluctuation. The analysed polymorphic sites are located in three genes - CCR5, CCR2 and SDF 1 (CXCL12). Protein products are involved in the innate immune response and are also involved in various types of infections, autoimmune diseases and tumours.

Introduction: Co-receptors involved in cell entry of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and mutations in genes encoding their ligands may play a role in the susceptibility to infection and resistance to the progression of the infection. The best studied mutations that can exist in these genes are the CCR5-Δ32, CCR2-64I and SDF1-3'A mutations. The frequency of these mutations vary from continent to continent and even from region to region.

Background: There is growing evidence that polymorphisms in chemokine and chemokine receptor genes influence susceptibility to HIV infection and disease progression. However, not much is documented about the influence of these polymorphisms in HIV serodiscordant couples in Cameroon.
Objective: The objective of this study therefore was to determine the prevalence and the effect of the polymorphisms of CCR5-Δ32, CCR5 promoter 59029 A/G, CCR2-64I and SDF1-3'A gene in HIV serodiscordant couples in comparison to HIV negative seroconcordant and HIV positive seroconcordant couples in Yaoundé-Cameroon.

Background: Genetic variants in the mother and/or infant have been described with evidence to be associated with mother-to-child transmission of HIV, but somehow with contradictory results depending on ethnic or geographic populations. We aimed at looking at the association between the allelic frequency of some genes with vertical transmission or acquisition of HIV in Cameroon.
Methodology: A total of 262 mothers (212 HIV-infected and 50 HIV non-infected) with their babies (270 in total, 42 HIV exposed-infected, 178 HIV exposed non-infected and 50 HIV non-exposed) were recruited in Yaounde-Cameroon.
