Abstract excerpt
A T-to-A polymorphic sequence at position +874 in the interferon (IFN)-gamma gene (+874 IFN-gamma) might be associated with disease susceptibilities. To investigate the influence of +874 IFN-gamma polymorphism on the hepatitis C virus (HCV) viral load and the severity of liver disease, the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was determined in 302 histologically proved chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients [M/F:...
