An IL-13 promoter polymorphism associated with liver fibrosis in patients with Schistosoma japonicum.

An IL-13 promoter polymorphism associated with liver fibrosis in patients with Schistosoma japonicum.

The aim of this study was to determine whether two polymorphisms in the gene encoding IL13 previously associated with Schistosoma hematobium (S. hematobium) and S. mansoni infection are associated with S. japonicum infection. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs1800925 (IL13/-1112C>T) and rs...
