The tandem-repeat polymorphism of the DC-SIGNR gene does not affect the susceptibility to HIV infection and the progression to AIDS

The tandem-repeat polymorphism of the DC-SIGNR gene does not affect the susceptibility to HIV infection and the progression to AIDS

DC-SIGNR is a C-type lectin that functions as a transreceptor for HIV-1. The exon 4 of the DC-SIGNR gene comprises a variable number of 69-bp tandem repeats, encoding for parts of the extracellular protein domain. Here, we analyzed the relevance of this gene polymorphism for the interindividual tran...
