[QUOTE]Originally posted by DD'eDeN: [QB] "Defective gene" in Europeans = immunity to HIV, plaque, smallpox (somitcw @ AAT) "The one that I heard about was a few Europeans had a faulty gene for the CCR5 ( Calcium Cell Receptor # 5 ) CCR5 is how smallpox and the plague enter a cell. First smallpox or plague epidemic in Europe killed many but people with one faulty CCR5 gene ( called delta 32 ) had some resistance so were more likely to live and have offsprings. After many epidemics, more had the CCR5 delta 32 gene. Some descendants inherited a "defective" gene from each parent so were immune to any disease that enters only through CCR5 which includes smallpox, plague, early HIV infections, and many others. Today, one percent of Europeans have two copies so are immune to smallpox, several poxes, the plague, and HIV. Today, ten percent of Europeans are resistant to smallpox, several other poxes, the plague, and HIV. Is the CCR5 delta 32 mutation really a "faulty" mutation? If I don't have the "faulty" gene now, I want it. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CCR5 [/QB][/QUOTE]
