Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. In Egypt, 92.5% of HCV infection cases reportedly involve infection with HCV genotype 4. HCV infection may induce liver steatosis directly and indirectly. Host genetic polymorphisms may also contribute to the pathogenesis of steatosis. Folate deficiency indirectly cuase liver damage. Folate status is...
