Abstract

A polymorphism in CX3CR1, a co-receptor for some HIV-1 variants, has been associated with a strong acceleration of HIV-1 disease progression. In the Amsterdam Cohort of Homosexual Men with HIV and AIDS, we were unable to confirm these findings. In addition, we did not find an effect of this polymorphism on the acquisition of syncytium-inducing/X4 HIV variants
