Population genetics and comparative genetics of CLDN1, a gene involved in hepatitis C virus entry.

Human heredity - 1 Jan 2009

Bekker Vincent, O'Brien Thomas R, Chanock Stephen

Abstract excerpt

The claudin-1 gene (CLDN1) is a member of a family of genes that encodes proteins found in tight junctions and it has recently been implicated as one of several receptors for late stage binding of hepatitis C virus (HCV). Exploration of the population genetics of this gene could be informative, especially in the investigation of a possible genetic contribution to HCV infection. Comparison to a highly similar...
