Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that genetic variants of estrogen receptor α (ERα) are associated with the outcomes of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. We genotyped the seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs2077647, rs9340799, rs2234693, rs1801132, rs9322354, and ) of ERα and conducted a case-control study in a high-risk Chinese population, including 429 HCV...
