CD209 and infection: Individuals with genotype AA at rs2287886, whose frequency in Central Asian Mongoloids is high, have shown to express higher levels of CD209, thereby having a higher rate of infection by cytomegalovirus than DCs carrying the GG genotype creating an analogous situation for the existence of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), since glycoproteins on the viral surface, which are conserved are similar with those on cytomegalovirus (Barkhash et al., 2012).
