Epidemiological and molecular studies on chronic HBV infection in Gambian families

2001-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Over 600 chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers were identified in The Gambia. 142 families with multiple affected siblings were recruited for this study. The prevalence of HBsAg carriage in siblings of the carriers was significantly higher than in normal population with the same exposure rate to the HBV infection, which could be considered as the sign of the family clustering of the disease. Significant correla...
