The C868T single nucleotide polymorphism in the CD4 receptor encodes an amino acid substitution of tryptophan
for arginine in the third domain. Previous studies suggest that C868T increases the risk of HIV-1
acquisition; however, the influence of this single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) on disease progression has not
been established. The presence of the C868T polymorphism was not statistically significantly associated with
HIV-1 disease progression outcomes in a cohort of postpartum Kenyan women
