Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between gene polymorphisms (single nucleotide polymorphisms [SNPs]) of rs8099917 and rs12980602 in the IL-28 gene and the response to lamivudine treatment in naïve of Chinese rural patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Three hundred and fifty-four naïve chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients treated with lamivudine were enrolled in this study. Rs8099917 and rs12980602 SNPs were...
