Abstract excerpt
Genetic predisposition of human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-DR has been linked to nonresponse to hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination. We sought to reveal their effects on chronic infection and evolution of HBV and development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Genetic polymorphisms at HLA-DR enhancer regions were genotyped in 4588 participants using quantitative PCR. HBV mutations were determined by sequencing. A...
