Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The severity of chronic hepatitis C and susceptibility to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are associated with genetic variations within vitamin D receptor (VDR) in several populations. This study aims to determine the significance of the VDRs (rs2228570, rs3782905, rs11568820) and DBP (rs7041) for the susceptibility to HCC in Egyptian patients with chronic HCV infection and their effect on the...
