Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Previous studies indicate that the IL-33/ST2 pathway is involved in hepatitis B virus (HBV) -related liver diseases. This study aimed to determine the relationship between genetic variants in IL-33/ST2 pathway with susceptibility to liver cirrhosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 2632 Han Chinese samples met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, including 840 negative controls (NeC), 691 chronic...
