Abstract excerpt
Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of viral hepatitis B. Several inflammatory diseases are associated with distinct polymorphisms of the ICAM-1 gene. The aims of this study were to analyse the association of ICAM-1 polymorphisms G241R and K469E with susceptibility to active decompensated cirrhosis in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers. The polymorphisms at...
