Signature genes associated with immunological non-responsiveness to anti-retroviral therapy in HIV-1 subtype-c infection.

Altogether, microarray and qRT-PCR validation results indicated that the aberrant expression of key genes involved in the regulation of T cell homeostasis, immune activation, inflammatory cytokine production, apoptosis, and immune-regulatory processes are possibly associated with immunological non-responsiveness in HIV-1 C infected individuals on ART.
