Abstract excerpt
Genetic variation in PNPLA3 influences liver fat accumulation and hepatocellular injury in various liver diseases. However, the role of PNPLA3 intronic polymorphisms in hepatic damage among hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the association of three intronic PNPLA3 polymorphisms (rs4823173, rs2896019, and rs2281135) with liver injury in HCV-infected patients with...
