Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Alpha-1-antitrypsin (A1AT) S and Z deficiency alleles and hemochromatosis (HFE) mutant C282Y, H63D alleles were reported to potentially affect the liver even if present in a heterozygous state. OBJECTIVES: This is a cross-sectional, randomized, case controlled study for evaluation of the frequency of these alleles in Egyptian patients with HCV liver cirrhosis and of their association with the disease....
