Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The speed of fibrosis progression varies considerably between patients with chronic hepatitis C. This study analyzed whether cytokine gene polymorphisms are associated with a progressive course of the disease. METHODS: Leukocyte DNA from 101 patients with chronic hepatitis C, 52 patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV)-induced cirrhosis and 200 Caucasian blood donors was prepared. Using PCR, RFLP and...
