Abstract excerpt

Many functional polymorphisms in the rennin-angiotensin system (RAS) have been described; these polymorphisms have been postulated to contribute to fibrosis in several diseases. Our aim was to study the frequency of ACE I/D polymorphism in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and its association with liver fibrosis and response to treatment. This study included 90 patients with chronic hepatitis C. All...
