Abstract excerpt
The tripartite motif (TRIM)-5 and TRIM22 are involved in innate immune response and show anti-viral activities. The current study aimed at evaluating the association of TRIM5 and TRIM22 polymorphisms with treatment outcomes in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (CHC). TRIM5 rs3824949 and TRIM22 polymorphisms (rs7113258, rs7935564, and rs1063303) were genotyped using TaqMan polymerase chain reaction (PCR)...
