Abstract excerpt
Although toll-like receptor 6 (TLR6) plays an important role in innate immunity and host antiviral responses, its impact on pegylated interferon-alpha (PegIFNα) treatment efficacy in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) remains unclear. We aimed to investigate whether genetic variations of TLR6 are associated with the response to PegIFNα treatment. This study included 945 HBeAg-positive CHB patients treated with PegIFNα for...
