Digging more in the genetic risk prediction of hepatitis C virus epidemic in Egypt: Apoptosis genes polymorphisms in the susceptibility of hepatitis C virus and association with viral load.

Abstract excerpt

Egypt is confronted with the highest hepatitis C virus (HCV) epidemic. Apoptosis and cellular immune responses are crucial to the clearance or persistence of viral infections. This case-control study was carried out to detect whether apoptosis genes single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) confer risk to HCV in a cohort of Egyptian patients and to explore their association with viral load. One hundred and ninety...
