Host genetic factors in hepatitis B infection, liver cancer and vaccination response: a review with a focus on Africa.

The Science of the total environment - 15 Apr 2012

Hennig Branwen J, Hall Andrew J

Abstract excerpt

The disease burden due to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains significant; 350 million people are infected world-wide, and around half a million deaths each year are due to HBV-related liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Infant immunisation against infection was introduced in the early 1980s, the vaccine is routinely administered across regions where the disease is endemic and has been shown...
