30 Oct 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The host genetic background regulates the natural history of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between TNF-α gene polymorphism in the promoter region and susceptibility to chronic hepatitis B virus infection. METHODS: Four polymorphisms of TNF-α gene including -238 A/G, -308 A/G, -857 C/T, and -863 A/C were analyzed by...
