Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The aim of this study was to assess whether genetic polymorphism of three important candidate cytokine genes, IL-10 (-1082G/A, -819C/T, and -592C/A), IL-4 (-590C/T) and TNF-alpha (-308G/A), play a role in the susceptibility to developing drug-induced liver injury (DILI), and in determining its phenotypic expression and severity. METHODS: Cytokine genotyping was analysed using TaqMan 5' allelic...
