Table 3. Amino acid variation in Gag p17 and p24 associated with HLA-B*57/58:01 disease progression.

AA Comparison AA variation***
Position SH Progressors LTNPs
SH value* Z score** Dominant Minor Dominant Minor
S126 0.83 −10.7 SK N S N
L215 0.61 −27.8 LT I L M

*The Sequence Harmony (SH) score represents overlap in amino acid composition between the two groups analyzed (HLA-B*57/58:01 progressors versus HLA-B*57/58:01 LTNPs). An SH value of 0 indicates no overlap (largest possible differences) while a value of 1 indicates complete overlap (no differences).

**All Z scores represent P values <0.0001 with correction for multiple testing (450 alignment positions).

***The most frequent amino acids found at a certain position are depicted as “Dominant”, whereas the “Minor” amino acids are present at least 2 times less frequent than the most frequently occurring amino acid at this position. Amino acids are ordered from highest to lowest frequency.
