Influence of the HIV GWG variant in the HIV infection progression in mono and HCV coinfected patients

Abstract: The HIV subtype B is the most frequent in Brazil. The HIV subtype B’ codes the amino acids glicine-tryptophan-glicine (GWG) instead of glicine-proline-glicine on the tip of gp120 V3 loop. This variant was associated to a slower HIV progression in mono-infected patients; however, there is no information in coinfected patients. This study evaluated the infection progression of HIV variant B’ on the hepatitis C virus presence. RNA isolated from plasma of the 601 infected patients were used to human immunodeficien… Show more

“…On the other hand, although the GPGR motif has been considered a conserved region of the V3 loop, this motif presents significant variability [3,15]. Diverses studies associated the specific variants of GPGR with fusion inhibitor drug resistance, escape from neutralizing antibodies, or even with pathogenicity [16][17][18][19][20]. Altogether, the diversity of the motifs at the crown of the V3 loop spread worldwide has been proven to be an epidemiologic problem.…”
