We analyzed rs111200466 in HIV-1 disease progression and showed a correlation with a faster progression to the CD4+ < 200 cells/μL outcome for deletion allele carriers (Cox regression analysis: hazard ratio, 2.4 [95% confidence interval, 1.4–4]; P = .001). When naive patients with CD4+ < 200 cells/μL started antiretroviral treatment, rs111200466-deletion carriers showed a trend toward a slower, recovery rate (time required to reach CD4+ > 350 cells/μL; Cox P = .36). Our data suggest rs111200466 as a prognosis factor for HIV-1 disease progression.
