Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Several recent studies showed that the genetic polymorphisms in the PNPLA3 region (rs738408, rs738409, rs2294918, rs2294919 and rs2281135) were with related to various kinds of liver diseases. We analyzed the five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for major HBV outcomes in Han Chinese. METHODS: A total of 2410 samples were involved and peripheral blood samples were collected in this...
