Abstract excerpt
Interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1), a transcription regulator involved both in inducing and in mediating the effects of interferon, is encoded by a highly polymorphic gene in different ethnic populations. Some of these genetic variations have been described to be associated to disease traits in hepatitis C virus and in human immunodeficiency virus infection, including one single-nucleotide polymorphism...
