Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at nucleotide (nt) position -88 (G or T) within an interferon-stimulated response element-like sequence in the promoter region of the MxA gene, which correlated with responsiveness of hepatitis C patients to interferon. Upstream of it, we then identified another SNP (C or A at nt -123) and investigated whether this SNP also correlates with...
