Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to investigate possible involvement of estrogen receptor α (ESR1) in responding to pegylated interferon alpha-2a (PEG IFNα-2a) therapy in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. A total of 106 HBeAg-positive patients and 52 healthy controls were enrolled into this study. ESR1 messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was quantified at the baseline, during...
