The I50V SNP in exon 5 and the haplotypes of six SNPs in exon 12 (E375A, C406R, S411L, S478P, Q551R, and V554I) were studied by polymerase chain reaction and sequencing in 30 HIV+ long-term nonprogressors (LTNP), 36 HIV+ typical progressors (TP), 55 highly exposed but uninfected individuals (EU), 25 EU-sexuals (EU-Sex; mostly women) and 30 EU-hemophiliacs (EU-Hem; hepatitis C virus+), and 97 healthy controls (HC), all Caucasians and lacking CCR5Delta32 homozygosity.
