Abstract excerpt
To study the association between the Ava II polymorphism at the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) gene exon 13 locus and chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in the Han Chinese, 84 chronic HCV-infected patients without anti-viral treatment, and 72 healthy blood donors were studied. Polymerase chain reaction combined with restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to detect the Ava II...
