To evaluate the role of host IL28B (interleukin 28B; interferon lambda 3) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in predicting hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) susceptibility, three SNPs in the IL28B gene (rs12979860C/T, rs8099917G/T and rs12980275G/A) were examined in 330 subjects (including 154 HBV-related HCC patients, 86 non-HCC patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), 43 HBV...
