Abstract excerpt
Interferon lambda 3 (IFN-λ3 or IFNL3, formerly IL28B), a type III interferon, modulates immune responses during infection/inflammation. Several human studies have reported an association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the IFNL3 locus with expression level of IFNL3. Previous genetic studies, in the context of hepatitis C virus infections, had predicted three regulatory SNPs: rs4803219, rs28416813 and...
