We evaluated the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TLRs with infant HIV-1 acquisition and viral control. Infant HIV-1 outcomes were assessed in a Kenyan perinatal HIV-1 cohort. Infants were genotyped for six candidate and 118 haplotype-tagging polymorphisms in TLRs 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9, MYD88 and TIRAP. Cox proportional hazards and linear regression were performed to assess associations with time to HIV-1 acquisition, time to infant mortality, and peak viral load (VL). Among 368 infants, 56 (15%) acquired HIV-1 by month 1 and 17 (4.6%) between 1 and 12 months. Infants with the TLR9 1635A (rs352140) variant were more likely to acquire HIV-1 by 1 month (HR=1.81, 95% confidence interval [CI] =1.05-3.14, p=0.033) and by 12 months (HR=1.62, CI=1.01-2.60, p=0.044) in dominant models adjusted for maternal plasma HIV-1 RNA level and genetic ancestry. Among 56 infants infected at ≤1 month of age, ≥1 copy of the TLR9 1635A allele was associated with a 0.58 log10 c/ml lower peak VL (p=0.002). Female infants with ≥1 copy of the TLR8 1G (rs3764880) variant had a 0.78 log10 c/ml higher peak VL (p=0.0009) and having ≥1 copy of the C allele for a haplotype tagging TLR7 variant (rs1634319) was associated with a 0.80 log10 c/ml higher peak VL in female infants (p=0.0003). In this African perinatal cohort, we found several TLR polymorphisms associated with HIV-1 acquisition and progression. Defining mechanisms for these TLR associations may inform HIV-1 prevention strategies that leverage innate responses.
