Abstract excerpt
Background: The rs368234815 polymorphism of interferon-λ4 (IFN-λ4) gene (IFNL4) is involved in HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) clearance in non-uremic subjects. The rs368234815 ΔG/ΔG genotype can express IFN-λ4 while the TT/TT genotype cannot. We investigated whether rs368234815 is associated with the development of HBsAg antibodies (anti-HBs) in response to vaccination or infection, and HBsAg loss after infection in...
