✦ Synopsis

Communicated by Stephen Chanock

Distinct life history patterns have been observed and characterized in humans and appear to have a heritable component. The specific genetic variation responsible for the heritability is unknown. This study tested two plausible candidate genes for association with human life history characteristics using a sample of Caucasian men and women taken from a large Australian community survey. Associations were found between two polymorphisms within the AVPR1A gene and age of first sexual intercourse in men and women. An association was also found between a polymorphism in the OXTR gene with the tendency to parent children at an earlier age in females. This study is the first to report associations between AVPR1A and OXTR genetic variation with life history traits in humans.

IL10 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine that has been found to have lower production in macrophages and mononuclear cells from asthmatics. Since reduced IL10 levels may influence the severity of asthma phenotypes, we examined IL10 singlenucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for association with asthma sever

During sexual transmission, HIV infects the mucosal dendritic cells and is transferred to CD4 T cells. Whether HIV variants of a particular genetic (sub)type or phenotype selectively infect dendritic cells (DC) or are preferentially transferred to T cells remains highly controversial. To avoid the c

## Abstract The development of HTLV‐1 associated clinical manifestations, such as TSP/HAM and ATLL, occur in 2–4% of the infected population and it is still unclear why this infection remains asymptomatic in most infected carriers. Recently, it has been demonstrated that HTLV uses the Glucose trans
