根据一项新的研究,在HIV感染者之间观察到的疾病进展率差异当中,大约三分之一的差异是由HIV遗传差异和患者遗传差异一起导致的。这些发现提示着患者遗传差异通过触发HIV病毒基因组发生突变而影响疾病进展。相关研究结果发表在PLoS Computational Biology期刊上。HIV感染者经历着不同的疾病进展率。在具有更高病毒载量的HIV感染者体内,HIV进展得更快。HIV病毒载量指的是在一名感染者的血液 According to a new study, about one-third of the differences in disease progression observed among HIV-infected individuals are caused by HIV genetic differences and patient genetic differences. These findings suggest that patients’ genetic differences affect disease progression by triggering mutations in the HIV genome. Relevant findings are published in the journal PLoS Computational Biology. HIV-infected people experience different rates of disease progression. In HIV-infected individuals with higher viral load, HIV progresses more rapidly. HIV viral load refers to the blood of an infected person
