Association of cytokine gene polymorphisms with chronic hepatitis C virus genotype 1b infection in Chinese Han population: An observational study.

Abstract excerpt

Cytokines are extensively involved in the process of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and take a crucial part in host immune regulation. We aimed to explore the potential correlation of cytokine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with HCV susceptibility and response rate of interferon (IFN)-based antiviral therapy in Chinese Han population.A case-control genetic association study was conducted between 198...
