Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Interferon-gamma induced protein 10 (IP-10) was suggested to be involved in liver injury in viral hepatitis. This study aimed to investigate the impact of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) G-201A (rs1439490) in IP-10 gene on disease progression of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. METHODS: The -201 SNP in IP-10 promoter was genotyped from 577 patients with different illness...
