Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUNDS/AIMS: Increasing evidence supports the contribution of the pro-/anti-inflammatory cytokine balance and genetic factors to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we investigated whether genetic interferon gamma polymorphisms were associated with HCC in Korean patients with chronic hepatitis B. METHODOLOGY: We genotyped a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP, rs2430561, +874A/T) and a microsatellite...
