Genetic variations can help identify which HIV patients are most likely to prematurely stop certain antiretroviral drugs due to adverse events, according to study findings reported in the January 15, 2011 Journal of Infectious Diseases. Researchers looking at a mostly European population found genetic markers significantly associated with early discontinuation of efavirenz (Sustiva)andatazanavir (Reyataz).
