Association study for rs2549782 in HESN
homoA subjects are protected from HIV-1 infection
HESN phenotype is associated with the co-presence of the HLA-B*57 allele and the homoA status at ERAP2

Subjects with different ERAP2 genotype show a different susceptibility to HIV-1 infection
The expression of genes involved in antigen processing and presentation, and MHC class I molecules are increased in homoA subjects

Different alleles of ERAP2 are able to generate a diverse antigen repertoire capable of activating different and likely more
protective lymphocyte clones.
Subjects with different ERAP2 genotypes show different expression of :
ERAP2 mRNA levels
Antigen processing & presentation pathway
MHC class I molecules
