Abstract excerpt
It has been shown for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection that host miRNAs contribute to the replication of the viral RNA genome. However, the clinical impact of these and many other cellular miRNAs on HCV in humans is still largely unclear. We therefore analysed the expression of miR-122, miR-126, miR-181a and miR-136 in HCV-infected patients. The study included liver biopsies of 65 patients infected with HCV of...
