Analysis of HLA association among North Indian HIV positive individuals with and without tuberculosis

ConclusionA comparative high-resolution analysis of B*35Px or B*35Py alleles among healthy controls and HIV+ individuals showed an overrepresentation of HLA-B*35Px alleles in the healthy Indian gene pool (58%) and in the HIV+ cohort (70%). The most common B*35 subtype found among the HIV infected subjects was B*3503/55 (20%; Px group), followed by B*3501 (10%; Py group). Our study concludes that the Indian gene pool possesses higher frequency of B*35Px alleles.
