Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The clearance of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a complex process which may be influenced by many factors including polymorphisms in the tumor necrosis factor <alpha> (TNF-<alpha>) gene promoter. However, previous reports regarding the relationship between polymorphisms in the TNF-<alpha> promoter and HBV clearance have been inconsistent. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis on a large population to...
