Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This research aimed to explore the association between the RIG-I-like receptor (RIG-I and MDA5 encoded by DDX58 and IFIH1, respectively) pathways and the risk or severity of hand, foot, and mouth disease caused by enterovirus 71 (EV71-HFMD). In this context, we explored the influence of gene methylation and polymorphism on EV71-HFMD. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: 60 healthy controls and 120...
