摘要

Objectives: Allelic polymorphisms of CCR5△32 、CCR2b-64I,CX3CR1-249I280M and SDF1-3'A associatedwith HIV-1 infection and disease progression wereinvestigated in indigenous Uygur populations from theXinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China.Methods: The study population comprised 316 healthyUygur subjects with an age range of 1-80 years old, fromwhom whole peripheral blood samples were collected andnone were HIV-1 seropositive. Genomic DNA samples werepurified using a Qiagen Blood Kit. Genotyping of theaforementioned four alleles was performed using PCR orPCR/RFLP assay, and further confirmed by direct DNAsequencing.Results: The allelic frequencies in Chinese Uygurpopulation were as follows: 3.48% for CCR5△32; 19.45% forCCR2b-64I; 13.8% for CX3CR1-249I280M haplotype, and20.41% for SDF1-3'A. Mutant allele distributions amongUygur populations were in accordance with theHardy-Weinberg equilibrium. No statistical difference wasfound between the frequency of the three HIV coreceptors andtheir respective ligand genes.Conclusion: The frequency of SDF1-3'A andCX3CR1-249I280M haplotypes in these Uygur populationswas similar to that of Caucasian people, while the frequency ofthe CCR2b-64I haplotype more closely matched the HanChinese. The frequency of CCR5△32 in Uygur populationswas between Caucasian and Han frequencies, the more closelymatching the frequency in Medi-Asia people. No geneticlinkage between any two of the three HIV coreceptor geneswas found, but obvious genetic linkages existed betweenCX3CR1-249I and CX3CR1-280M,with even higher linkagedegrees than Caucasian people.
