Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) rarely leads to spontaneous hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seroclearance. However, host genetics contributing to this outcome remain poorly understood. We investigate genetic variants associated with HBsAg seroclearance and related viral markers. METHODS: We conducted GWAS in 3240 REVEAL-HBV participants to identify SNPs/HLA variants associated with HBV DNA load,...
