Prevalence of CCR5delta32 in Northeastern Iran

This study was the first investigation for an assessment of the prevalence of CCR5∆32 in northeastern Iran. The low prevalence of CCR5∆32 allele in the Iranian population may result in the increased susceptibility to HIV-1. In addition, this prevalence is the same as that of reported in East Asia, while is lower than that in the Europeans.

. The CCR5-delta 32 mutation in a sense locks "the door" which prevents HIV from entering into the cell. 1% of people descended from Northern Europeans, particularly Swedes, are immune to HIV infection. https://www.nature.com/scitable/blog/viruses101/hiv_resistant_mutation/

The 1% is for homozygous people.

The 10-15% number is heterozygous.

For the latter, they aren’t immune to HIV. HOWEVER, it takes a MUCH larger initial viral load to do the trick for them.

And the time between infection and development of full blown AIDS is much longer. Ie, they’re asymptomatic spreaders MUCH longer.
