Abstract excerpt
Cytokine imbalance is an important feature in the occurrence and outcome of hepatitis B virus (HBV). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within cytokine genes may affect the protein expression and eventually contribute to the susceptibility of HBV infection. The association between interleukin (IL)-12, IL-17, or IL-21 and the risk of HBV infection has been extensively studied, but yielding equivocal results....
