Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To assess the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the low molecular weight polypeptide (LMP) gene with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among ethnic Han population from Yunnan. METHODS: A total of 427 patients with chronic HCV infection and 412 healthy controls were recruited. SNPs rs1351383, rs17587 and rs2127675 from the promoter region of the LMP2 gene and rs2071543...
