Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Recently, genetic association studies have linked a number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with liver fibrosis risk of hepatitis C. The present study was designed to validate the association of emerging SNPs with development of liver cirrhosis and chronicity in a Chinese population infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV). METHODS: 714 Chinese subjects with persistent HBV infection...
