Polymorphisms in Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs)-7 and 9 Genes in Indian Population with Progressive and Nonprogressive HIV-1 Infection

The polymorphisms in Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7 and 9 genes are shown to influence HIV-1 infection. We studied HIV-1-infected Indian individuals for presence and association of TLR7 and 9 gene polymorphism with different disease outcomes. Genomic DNA from 65 HIV-infected individuals (35 long-term nonprogressors and 30 progressors) and 89 uninfected healthy donors was isolated, amplified, and sequenced for the reported polymorphisms in TLR7 [Gln11Leu (A/T); rs179008] and TLR9 (1635A/G; rs352140) genes. Of these, only the reported TLR9 single-nucleotide polymorphism [SNP; p = .017, odds ratio (OR) = 0.20] and its allele A frequency (p = .038, OR = 0.41) were found to be associated with slow disease progression. Of the new SNPs observed (three TLR7 and two TLR9), the TLR7 rs2074109 G allele showed less likely association with HIV-1 acquisition (p = .019, OR = 0.27). These findings indicate that TLR7 SNP (rs2074109) could be one of the factors for predisposition to HIV-1 and TLR9 1635A/G genotype and allele might have a role in HIV-1 disease progression in Indian population.
