Faure et al.(1) reported that allele M280 of the chemokine receptor/HIV coreceptor CX3CR1 is associated with both increased risk of HIV infection and accelerated HIV disease progression in studies of Caucasian HIV cohorts from France. In the seroconverters (SEROCO) cohort, the relative risk (RR) for AIDS was 2.13 for those homozygous for the M280 allele (n 16) compared with those homozygous for the reference allele T280 (n 306; P 0.039). In the SEROCO, standard progressor (IMMUNOCO), and long-term asymptomatic (ALT) cohorts, association of homozygous M280 (2) with HIV infection was significant at P 0.045. Here we report that we were unable to confirm these associations in three North American (NA) cohorts of HIV-1 seroconverters: the DC Gay cohort (DCG), the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study of homosexual men (MACS), and the Multicenter Hemophilia Cohort Study (MHCS). Allele M280 has two nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), causing substitution of isoleucine (I) for valine (V) at codon 249 and methionine (M) for threonine (T) at codon 280. Three other possible alleles are formed by these SNPs: V249 T280, V249 M280, and I249 T280. V249 M280 has not been observed, an indication of complete linkage disequilibrium; for that reason, and to conform with the nomenclature previously used by Faure et al.(1), we refer to this allele as M280. V249 T280 was the most common allele in all racial groups (data not shown) and was similar in frequency between Caucasian random blood donors from North America, at 72.2%(3, 4), and those from France, at 74.3%(1). Allele M280 was present in 20.2% of NA Caucasian random blood donors, compared with 13.5% of those in France, and 7.7% of NA Caucasian random blood donors possessed I249 T280, compared with 12.2% from France. Genotypes were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium within each racial group, which suggests a lack of selective pressure on these alleles. No significant difference was observed between exposed but uninfected (n 109) and HIV-1–infected (n 573) Caucasian MACS participants in the distribution of any compound CX3CR1 genotype (P 0.72) or allele (P 0.82), a finding that fails to support a role for CX3CR1 in HIV transmission among homosexual men. Using a Cox proportional hazards model (PROC PHREG, SAS Institute, Cary, NC), progression rates to AIDS and all-cause mortality were not significantly different in individual or combined
