Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Cdc42 is a Rho family GTPase protein and was recently implicated in mediating hepatitis C virus (HCV) infectivity. This study examines the association between Cdc42-related gene and interferon (IFN) therapy in HCV patients. METHODS: We analyzed the associations between the outcome of IFN therapy and 17 tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within two genes involved in Cdc42 signaling...
