Is there an available genetic test for the delta 32 allele?



I was watching Discovery Health tonight and learned that there are some people in the world who are immune to HIV. I never knew that. I suspected it must be so, but completely missed that these people had been discovered. So I wondered if there is some genetic test on the market to show whether people are carriers of this genetic mutation.

What kind of genetic test would be indicated for this hypothetical question?



I want to learn the ethnicity of the *mother* of a male historical figure. Can I learn this by testing any of his descendants alive today? Which ones (does male or female matter?) would I test, and what kind of test would I use?

Thank you.
