Similarly, we observed an independent association between AIDS presentation and CD8+CD38+% (AOR 1.078 for each unit more, 95%CI 1.015–1.146, P = 0.015), CD8+CD38+CD45R0+% (AOR 0.996 for each unit more, 95%CI 0.994–0.999, P = 0.004), and CD4+CD127+% (AOR 0.827 for each unit more, 95%CI 0.759–0.902, P = 0.0001). The gene discussed is CD8A; the disease is AIDS.
