Abstract excerpt
Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) senses hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and drives the host specific innate and adaptive immune response. The aim of this study was to estimate the distributions of TLR7 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including rs179019 and rs3853839, as well as the effect of TLR7 gene variants on TLR7 mRNA expression and cytokine production in response to TLR7 agonist in vitro. TLR7 SNP...
