Abstract: <p><b>BACKGROUND:</b> CCR5 is a receptor for chemokines of the CC family. Heterozygosity for CCR5 A32, a 32-basepair deletion in the gene encoding for CCR5, is present in 10-15% of Caucasians and delays HIV-1 disease progression among homosexual men. A study among 157 normal blood donors demonstrated that of CCR5 A32 ...
