CC Chemokine Receptor 5 ?32 and CC Chemokine Receptor 2 64I Polymorphisms Do Not Influence the Virologic and Immunologic Response to Antiretroviral Combination Therapy in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1–Infected Patients

Abstract
To investigate the influence of the CC chemokine receptor 2 64I and CC chemokine receptor 5 Δ32 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 Δ32 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
