HIV-1 disease progression is associated with bile-salt stimulated lipase (BSSL) gene polymorphism.
<h4>Background</h4>DC-SIGN expressed by dendritic cells captures HIV-1 resulting in trans-infection of CD4(+) T-lymphocytes. However, BSSL (bile-salt stimulated lipase) binding to DC-SIGN interferes with HIV-1 capture. DC-SIGN binding properties of BSSL associate with the polymorphic rep...
