Abstract excerpt
Viral hepatitis is a devastating disease with the risk for cirrhosis and carcinogenicity. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play important roles in the disease course of viral hepatitis via maintaining the balance between overt-immune responses and viral replications. We hypothesized that genetic polymorphisms of Treg-related genes, such as interleukin-2, transforming growth factor-β 1 (TGF-β1), forkhead box P3 (FOXP3),...
