Abstract excerpt
Cytokines and genetic factors play important roles in the pathogenesis of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and chronic hepatitis C (CHC) infections. Variations in cytokine genes may effect the gene expression and may lead to changes in the clinical manifestations of diseases. One of the single nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter region of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) gene is the polymorphism at -308....
