Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between the susceptibility to cirrhosis and the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at C-1350T and G-944C loci of class II transactivator (CIITA) gene promoter IV in chronic HBV carriers. METHODS: C-1350T and G-944C loci of CIITA gene promoter IV were analyzed by sequence-specific primer PCR (PCR-SSP) in 544 chronic HBV carriers and 125 non-HBV infected healthy blood...
