The top variant, (rs35962362-G) is intronic to the ZNF586 gene, and is associated with an approximate 0.1 log increase in spVL per mutant allele. Our subsequent TWAS along with interrogation of eQTL data suggest that increased ZNF586 expression is associated with increased spVL in whole blood.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings suggest ZNF586 as a novel host factor for HIV-1 control and highlight the role of zinc finger proteins as potential contributors to viral persistence.
