Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Chemokine genes play an essential role in both spontaneous clearance in acute infection and therapy of HCV. We investigated whether several CXC family-related genes associated with HCV spontaneous clearance and response to treatment. METHODS: The current study genotyped four SNPs, respectively are CXCR6 rs2234358, CXCL12 rs1801157, CXCL9 rs10336, rs3733236 to assess their associations with HCV...
