The Genomics of Resistance to Immunodeficiency Virus (GRIV) cohort was established in France in 1995 to generate a large collection of DNA for genetic studies to identify host genes associated with either rapid progression (n = 85) or non-progression (n = 275) to AIDS. Further information on participants, genotyping, quality control and statistical analysis are described in Limou et al [18] and Le Clerc et al [20].
