Several genetic factors are associated to HIV
disease outcome
KIR
KIR3DL1/S1 in combination with HLA-Bw480Ille
• Slow progression to AIDS
• Slow CD4+ T cell decline
HLA
KIR2DL2/S2 in combination with HLA-C180Asn
• Fast decrease of CD4+ T cell counts

Conclusions
• Genetic stratification within a population is important when
assessing the effect of genetic factors on HIV disease
outcome.
• Differential effects of specific genetic factors observed in
individuals with distinct genetic ancestry components in
admixed populations.
• HLA and KIR effects can partially explain differences observed
in pVL setpoint and CD4+ T cell counts in individuals with
different genetic ancestry components.
• The possible effect of other genetic factors as well as sociodemographic factors needs to be further assessed.
