Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are suspected to play a critical role in liver diseases and the progression of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection. In this study, we investigated the possible association between TLRs and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection chronicity in Turkish population. METHODS: TLR4 (+896 A→G) (rs4986790), TLR5 (+1846 T→C) (rs5744174) and TLR9 (-1237T→C) (rs5743836) polymorphisms were...
