Abstract

To investigate the influence of the CC chemokine receptor 2 64I and CC chemokine receptor 5 delta32 polymorphisms on the virologic and immunologic response of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected patients to highly active antiretroviral therapy, data from 4 clinical studies were pooled. The prevalence of the CCR5 delta32 polymorphism was 21% (27 of 130 subjects), and the prevalence of the CCR2 64I polymorphism was 15% (19 of 130 subjects). There were no major differences between subjects with and without polymorphisms in the CCR5 and/or CCR2 genes with respect to the rate of initial viral clearance, proportion of subjects with plasma HIV-1 RNA levels below the lower limit of quantification, rate of virologic treatment failure, immunologic responses, and disease progression during 96 weeks of follow-up.
